OSHAWA, ONT. — Durham College (DC) recently celebrated the grand opening of its Centre for Collaborative Education (CFCE).
The City of Oshawa contributed $1 million to the project which included $100,000 for 10 years for the construction of the CFCE. The city’s investment is reflected on a donor wall and in the naming of the building’s outdoor courtyard as the City of Oshawa Courtyard.
Located on Simcoe Street North, the multi-level, 75,000-square-foot-facility is a legacy project tied to DC’s 50th anniversary in 2017, states a release issued by the city. The CFCE replaced the college’s aging Simcoe building that had originally opened in 1969.
The CFCE was awarded a City of Oshawa 2018 Urban Design Award for its unique architecture. The building incorporates a combination of glass, wood, stone and copper to create a dynamic expression that references the existing campus and complements the connected Student Services building, the release indicates. To commemorate the existing Simcoe Building, the entrance feature incorporates stone taken from the original building.
