St. Clair College has a building on site modelled after the Ford Centre for Excellence in Manufacturing. The paint was fading, and the fa\u00e7ade needed an uplift.<\/p>\n

“Education is a core pillar of what the Stephanie Barry Zekelman Foundation does. And over the years, St. Clair College has become one of our most valuable community partners in bringing that vision to life,” said Amber Hunter, the Director of Philanthropy at the Stephanie and Barry Zekelman Foundation. “Whether it’s the Zekelman School of Business, the Zekelman Tennis Centre, student scholarships or innovation initiatives, time and time again, we’ve partnered together with a shared belief that investing in education creates strong communities and bright futures.”<\/p>\n

The Zekelman Foundation reached out to the College, looking to engage students in the refurbishment project, and students in the Architectural Technology program quickly stepped in to assist.<\/p>\n

“I remember coming here as a kid, so I think continuing that legacy is always a nice gesture,” said Noah Nicoletti, a recent graduate of the Architectural Technology program who worked on the refurbishment project. “The architectural technology program gives us some good experience in the online and digital areas, so I thought it’d be a good experience to get hands-on and kind of understand this stuff from a construction and working perspective.”<\/p>\n

The students put their craft to practice, getting experiential learning opportunities during the refurbishment project, including painting the stucco exterior walls, removing and replacing old signage, fixing the streetscaping, pouring concrete, and cleaning up the interior space.<\/p>\n

“It was honestly a great opportunity,” said Jayne Foreman, a second-year student in the Architectural Technology program who also assisted with the project. “I find that hands-on work on top of the technology and the software we learn about in class is very beneficial for future jobs.”<\/p>\n
