Introducing the Local Art Program at Oak House ✨
Art is woven throughout the student living space in this unique residence initiative. 11 original artworks are permanently displayed across the building, from study areas to shared lounges, to dining spaces and beyond.
Launched by @uoft_se to celebrate the opening of our newest residence on @UofT’s St. George Campus, the program brings together works by local artists, including U of T students and alumni.
Featuring photography, painting, mixed media and sculpture, the works explore themes of nature, sustainability, community and student life.
From quiet moments of reflection to shared experiences, the collection enriches the everyday experience of living at Oak House.

Spaces & Experiences welcomed new Assistant Vice-President, Geoff Frigon, earlier this year. Coming from a background in higher education, Frigon has spent his career leading teams and managing multi-stakeholder portfolios. Along the way, he’s learned that investing in people is the key to success.
"If you have the right culture, it naturally breeds a high-performing group," said Frigon. "We spend a third of our day together, so why not do it in a kind, welcoming, inclusive environment where people feel they can contribute and be empowered to make decisions.”
Frigon discussed his plans for the portfolio`s future, his leadership style and his priorities — which includes creating a collaborative and positive environment, focusing on priority audiences and projects like student residents and Build More Housing, as well as investing in people.
