The Full Story
Infrastructure Projects
A large part of what the FCSS identified over the last 10 years is creating new student spaces for academics and student wellbeing.
Check-out below all the space projects we would love to fund coming soon.
Student-led Cafe/Eatery
The FCSS wants to fund a student learning and living lab for our Nutrition, food, Occupational Health, Public Health, and Urban and Regional Planning students. This student-led cafe will create campus jobs and accurate word experiential learning experiences for students.

Sleeping Pods Project
The FCSS Recognizes the need for sleeping to combat compassion fatigue for our TMU students.
We are considering installing two nap pods.
More work is required for us to see how to make this sustainable, safe, and clean.
DCC Side Table Project
The FCSS recognizes that the DCC is brand new and a very empty building. The FCSS will work with community partners once the levy is collected to ensure each floating bench in DCC has laptop tables so students can avoid dragging massive tables over constantly.
DCC Chair Project
The FCSS recognizes that the DCC is brand new but also a very empty building. The FCSS will work with community partners once the levy is collected to ensure each floor has even more comfortable seating across the floor space, especially on Ground Floor, Floor Two, and Floor Eight.
Hive Lounge in EPH
The FCSS recognizes that the EPH is one of the oldest buildings on campus. The FCSS will work with community partners once the levy is collected to ensure the Social Work floor has even more comfortable seating, bright lighting, and a new eatery.
Living Wall in SHE
The FCSS recognizes that the SHE building is turning 20 years old in 2023. With that in mind, the building receives lots of stressed-out students and lighting. An inside living wall will help relieve the stress from students studying in the building.
Study Area Renewel SHE
The FCSS recognizes that the SHE building is turning 20 years old in 2023. With that in mind, the building receives lots of stressed-out students and lighting. The furniture in the building is starting to show its age and fall apart.
The FCSS wants to do something about it and introduce new long tables, plant life, and comfortable chairs, tables, and couches.
FCS Multi-Faith Room
The FCSS recognizes the need for prayer and meditation space on campus. The FCSS will advocate for an inclusive, accessible room in the DCC and SHE/EPH to house such a space.
FCS Student Club Kiosk
The FCSS recognizes that the DCC is brand new but also a very empty building. The FCSS will work with community partners once the levy is collected to ensure student clubs within the FCSS umbrella are given a spotlight and a place to sell apparel or run a bake sale.
Zen Garden
The FCSS recognizes the need for physical space that reconciles with multiple communities and provides a welcoming home feeling. The FCSS will work with key stakeholders, such as Arc. Soc, MUES, the ASA, and FMD will plant a Zen Garden on the path between EPH, Monetary Times, Architecture, and Pitman Hall.
Indigenous Garden
The FCSS recognizes the need for physical space that reconciles with Indigenous communities and provides a welcoming home feeling. The FCSS will work with critical indigenous stakeholders, George Brown College, the Deans Office, the Indigenous Students Association, and FMD to plant one in front of EPH/SHE.
FCS Computer Lab Reno
The FCSS recognizes the need to re-invest in the FCS-dedicated computer lab in Kerr Hall. The current space needs to be more inviting, dark, and outdated. The FCSS will work with the FMD, the Deans Office, and the Library to re-model the space.
