3 Hazel McCallion Campus 1 For over 40 years, Sheridan has been pushing the boundaries of higher education, continually evolving to help people, businesses and communities succeed. Rather than bask in our achievement, we re more inspired than ever to innovate. We ve got an idea that s bold. It s an idea so big that we can t do it alone.

4 Hazel McCallion Campus 2 Sheridan s presence in Mississauga has contributed to our city s urban transformation. The thousands of students who come here each day breathe new life into our city. The Hazel McCallion Campus expansion will invite even more people to gather and share ideas. It s key to our city s future growth and prosperity. Hazel McCallion, Mayor, City of Mississauga

5 Hazel McCallion Campus 3 Help us reinvent Ontario s future Building on the generous donation of land from the City of Mississauga, Sheridan is launching a $9 million campaign to construct a second, state-ofthe-art building at our Hazel McCallion Campus (HMC). This sophisticated space will facilitate multidisciplinary learning and help us equip students with the 21st century life skill of creative problem solving. An expanded HMC will enable more of the West GTA workforce to pursue credentials closer to home and help to provide long-term stability to this rapidly growing region.

6 Hazel McCallion Campus 4 Ontario s future hinges on an educated workforce that helps us compete in a global, knowledge-based economy. HMC will hone this talent by engaging students in interdisciplinary learning and creative problem solving. We extend our gratitude to the Government of Ontario for its strategic investment in this innovative teaching and learning facility. Dr. Jeff Zabudsky, President & CEO, Sheridan College

8 Hazel McCallion Campus 6 What kind of future do you envision? Canada needs a new breed of thinkers who are not only capable of embracing a rapidly changing economy, but inventing it. Creativity is the idea engine that leads to innovation, finds solutions where others only see problems, helps attract talent and investment, and spurs economic and social development. Education has been proven to be the leading contributor to Ontario s wellbeing. Your generosity will ensure that Sheridan can create the right kind of learning space that helps to hone students skills, competencies and talents so they graduate ready to thrive in a constantly changing marketplace. Together, we ll empower thousands of learners each year, from Ontario, Canada and around the world to enrich their own lives, the businesses where they work, and the communities that they are proud to call home. Opportunities for improvement Ontario ranks 14 out of 16 for productivity among its peer regions in North America. 1 in 4 CEOs report delaying a market opportunity or strategic initiative due to a lack of talent. Canada consistently struggles with the ability to translate innovations within university research into commercial success stories.

10 Hazel McCallion Campus 8 Growing up, I never considered myself to be good at coming up with ideas. That s what drew me to creative problem solving. It s a life skill that helps people experiment and drive change even when knowledge runs out. I don t know of any institution other than Sheridan that has taken this stance to embed creativity so deeply and broadly.

13 Hazel McCallion Campus 11 A hub for creative and entrepreneurial thinking Industrial centres around the world advance innovation through the intelligent combination of expertise and resources. That s the strategy we re adopting for the creation of our second, state-of-the-art building at our Hazel McCallion Campus in Mississauga the current home of Sheridan s Faculty of Business. This outstanding facility will respond to the burgeoning demand for our programs in both Canada and abroad, and respond to Ontario s previously announced target of creating 60,000 additional spaces in colleges and universities. It will be home to program clusters in architecture and interior design, creativity and communications, business, advertising and merchandising. Other highlights include a new Creativity Commons, dedicated space for an Institute for Creativity and a main-floor art gallery that will showcase student art and welcome the public, further integrating education with civic life.

Bringing together students from across the city, province, country and world, we ll provide opportunities to create knowledge and expand networks to help students shape their own learning experience.
