Join us on our next stop in the TSA Building Tours lineup—the Downsview Campus Centre for Aerospace and Aviation!✈️

Get ready for take off, because our August building tour is just around the corner. Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the recently completed Centennial College’s Downsview Campus Centre for Aerospace and Aviation.

An award winning adaptive reuse project designed by MacLennan Jaunkalns Miller Architects Ltd. (MJMA), in association with Stantec Architecture Ltd., this new educational facility repurposes and unifies a series of existing structures on a site that was once Canada’s epicentre of aviation design and manufacturing. The complex includes two hangars, classrooms, admin offices, a library, and learning and fabrication spaces that include avionics, electronics, engines, and composite labs, and group study and collaborative zones. The new facility establishes a museum of artifacts with a collection drawn from the site’s storied past and exhibits conveying the history of Canadian aviation.
