Our Latest Projects

We're Built Differently

We were once two separate portfolios —
Ancillary Services and Real Estate. Now,
Space & Experiences combines our
intimate knowledge of U of T’s community
needs with the capacity to identify and
develop innovative spaces and services.

We take a holistic approach to our work, collaborating with internal and external partners to create environments that power new possibilities at the University.
