UTSC to open a new building for Indigenous and Non-Indigenous learners by 2022 – The Medium

December 6, 2021

Indigenous House will feature inclusive learning spaces that foster a safe and thriving academic environment while upholding Indigenous traditions and practices.

The University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) announced in 2020 that the campus will open a new building called the Indigenous House.
