Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
The Material ConneXion Library
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
The Material ConneXion Library
The Material ConneXion Library is the first of its kind in Canada and puts Sheridan in the company of only 15 other post-secondary institutions worldwide. With more than 1000 future-forward materials and samples of material processes that aim to enhance the performance, aesthetics, and sustainability of design projects, students are inspired to infinite creative possibilities. Many materials in the library are considered sustainable. Others are recyclable, renewable or biodegradable. They’re organized by composition rather than intended use. Exposing students to this type of experiential learning will impact ideation, application, and design.
