Campuses

North

The North Campus, which shares space with Guelph-Humber, is faced with constant space shortage. Computer labs and study areas are essentially used to capacity whenever open. Ontario Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, Chris Bentley, announced the provincial government will provide $23 million over a ten-year period toward a new building on the campus.

The North Campus has a 250-acre Arboretum that is maintained by the students in the School of Horticulture. It provides a walk with nature along the banks of the West Humber River and reflects a different view of nature as the seasons change.

Lakeshore

Built during the late 1880s, the cottage buildings served as a psychiatric hospital called the Mimico Lunatic Asylum (later the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital). When purchased by Humber College, the college vowed to keep the historical site in good condition. The campus now consists of a number of cottage buildings mixed with some modern buildings built in the 1970s. The college is in the process of renovating the insides while maintaining the outside structure of the cottages.

Barrie, planned

There has been talk among Humber officials to open a Barrie campus. The school has investigated pursuing funding for the project, though such a development would likely not happen for many years. Some have noted that this would be slightly unusual, as the namesake Humber River reach that area.
