Humber submitted to Smart Commute awards and was chosen as the City of Toronto Employer of the Year Award.
The Nx Building retrofit was submitted as a case study for the CaGBC Ontario Green Building Excellence and Leadership Awards. The decision is still pending.
Humber College participated in social media outreach during Fair Trade Campus Week 2018 and was awarded the Fair Trade Campus All-Star by Fairtrade Canada and the CFTN.
Humber’s Industrial Design students created a structure for a chair for the 19th Humber Industrial Design chair show. One group who created a sustainable design won awards for:
- 1st place overall
- Peoples Choice Award
- Most innovative use of material
They maximized the use of material by creating the entire structure from Birch Plywood. Using simple 2D cuts with a CNC machine, we were able to maximize the yield of material to create the final 3D form. The chair can also be easily disassembled, with no toxic adhesives used in the construction process to ensure that all materials can be recycled properly and reused after the chair is no longer in use.
