In 2012, the faculty was united under one roof when construction on the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) building was finished.
With 15 stories, and a surface area of 25,299 square meters, the building includes new classrooms, meeting rooms, and an atrium with a six-story living wall that serves as an air-filtration system.
The building includes several sustainable features, such as recycled construction materials, efficient heat redistribution, proximity to public transport, and energy efficiency.
The building has received the Award of Excellence at the Green Roofs for Healthy Cities conference in November 2013, and the Interior Wood Design Award from the Ontario Wood Works!
program of the Canadian Wood Council.
