We are pleased to inform you that the installation of the two elevators at the Centre for Food is now complete, following the strike of Ontario’s elevator workers earlier this summer. The building is now fully accessible. 

Thank you for your support during this time of transition.

The installation of the two elevators at the new Centre for Food (CFF) at our Whitby Campus was delayed due to the recently-ended strike of Ontario’s elevator workers under the International Union of Elevator Constructors.

As of today, August 22, the installation has begun, with an aim to have the elevators in place and functioning by early October.  The CFF will still open for classes on Tuesday, September 3 with the rest of the building fully operational and in line with accessibility standards. 

We remain committed to student success and working with students and guests to meet individual needs as we move through this time of transition. Those using the CFF are encouraged to contact Beth Smith, Facilities and Ancillary Services, at 905.721.2000 ext. 2213 with any questions or concerns.

We will continue to provide you with updates as they become available.
