An historic donation from Canadian business leader and philanthropist Jack Cockwell advanced the construction of Limberlost Place, a major expansion of George Brown Polytechnic’s Waterfront Campus and an exciting addition to Toronto’s East Bayfront community. Recognized around the world as a leading example of mass-timber construction, the building is home to the School of Architectural Studies, Research and Innovation and other areas.
