Building something amazing
Durham College celebrated the opening of the new Centre for Collaborative Education (CFCE) in October 2018. A legacy project tied to the college’s 50th anniversary in 2017, the CFCE has replaced the college’s aging Simcoe building, which was originally built as a temporary structure and opened in 1969.
The new multi-level, 75,000-square-foot-facility prioritizes the student experience in all aspects of its design and function. Along with abundant collaborative learning and social spaces, it holds industry-grade, cutting-edge labs, entrepreneurial and maker spaces, and inclusive learning environments. DC launched the Building Something Amazing capital campaign in September 2017 to raise $5 million towards the CFCE’s total build cost of $40 million.
