The Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, rebranded as Humber Polytechnic since 2024, is a public college in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1967, Humber has three main campuses and locations – the Humber North campus, the Lakeshore campus, and the International Graduate School. Today, Humber boasts over 200 programs, 86,000 full time students and 9,300 international students.
Programs
Humber offers more than 200 programs, including bachelor's degree, diploma, certificate, post-graduate certificate and apprenticeship programs, across 17 areas of interest. Humber also provides academic advisors and resources, such as a career finder.[1] Beyond this, Humber also provides Bridging (or Bridge Training) Programs for internationally trained professionals in the fields of engineering and information technology.
Humber serves more than 86,000 learners.[2]
History
Humber College was established in 1967[3] under its founding President, Gordon Wragg. The first new section of Humber opened on Monday, September 11, 1967, at James S. Bell Elementary School, a public school on Lake Shore Boulevard West. The Lakeshore Campus began with the addition of the manpower retraining programs on Queen Elizabeth Way in Etobicoke. In November 1968, North Campus was officially opened by Mayor Edward A. Horton of Etobicoke and Mayor Jack Moulton of York. In the early 1970s, student enrolment was rapidly increasing which led Humber to expand its business and technology programs at both the North and Lakeshore Campuses. Humber had the largest group of business students in the province. Three-year co-op programs were developed in the early 1970s in a range of technology and business programs. [4] Humber became Canada's largest college with over 27,000 full-time and 50,000 part-time learners.
By the early 1980s, Humber was developing programs to respond to business and industry demands by focusing on flexibility in class schedules, including a weekend college. Its skill-based training courses included self-paced programming and, along with Holland College in Prince Edward Island, became one of the National Centers for industry-driven DACUM curriculum. Humber introduced flexible manufacturing and was a pioneer in introducing computer applications in technology programs.[3] Lakeshore Campus, at its new permanent location on the lakeshore, was the first college to introduce a solar technology program to respond to the needs of that growing industry of the time. Humber had a large international outreach program, working in over 20 countries. With the assistance of ADB, the Government of Canada (CIDA), it developed the largest international program of all of the Canadian colleges by 1987,Script error: No such module "Unsubst". introducing the concept of responsive tertiary education to countries throughout Africa and Asia.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".[5]Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
In the fall of 1980, building F was used for filming of the film The Last Chase which was released the following year. In 1983, the campus was used for the filming of the first Police Academy film, which was released the following year.[6]
After the mid-1980s, the college concentrated more on arts and applied arts programs while refocusing energy on internal processes and local activities, rather than program innovation and national or international activities. It is an Ontario Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning. On February 2, 2009, Humber students became the first to contact an astronaut in orbit using an apparatus they built and operated. They made contact with Sandra Magnus at the International Space Station from a lab room at the school's Rexdale campus.[7]
On August 29, 2024, Humber College announced a name change to Humber Polytechnic,[8] to better reflect the education model as “one that combines deep, theoretical learning with applied, hands-on experience to foster employability, not just employment for graduates.” However, the college's official legal name remains Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning.

Campuses
Humber North Campus
Located in Etobicoke, an administrative district of the northwest of the city of Toronto, adjacent to the Humber River, the Humber North Campus has approximately 20,000 full-time and 57,000 part-time students, 1,000 of them living in residence.[9] The campus offers full-time and part-time programs in various fields including Business, Applied Technology, Health Sciences, Media Studies, Liberal Arts, Hospitality and Tourism. In addition to that, the campus also has an indoor pool and sauna, athletics facilities and a fully functioning spa. North Campus is home to the Funeral Service Education program, one of only two FSE programs offered in the province.
On April 18, 2015, Humber opened the Humber Learning Resource Commons (LRC) which serves as the new main entrance for the campus.[10] The 264,000-square-foot building has six floors and features a student gallery and commons, a new library, enhanced student services, the Registrar's Office, Student Recruitment, Student Success & Engagement, the International Centre, the School of Liberal Arts & Sciences and administrative offices. The building was designed by B+H Architects[11] and it cost $79 million to build, $74.5 million of which were funded by Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.[12]
Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation
The Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation, located at Humber's North Campus, is home to many applied research projects with diverse partners across multiple sectors. It builds on Humber's expertise in areas such as automation, robotics, systems integration, user experience testing, applied research and work-integrated learning. Some of the key features include interactive technology zones, digital media studios, cutting-edge prototyping and makerspaces, open concept gathering spaces and demonstration areas for new products and technologies. The 93,000 sq. ft. centre cost about $27 million, $10 million of which were funded by The Barrett Family Foundation. The Government of Canada provided additional funding of $15.5 million from the Post-Secondary Strategic Investment Fund, and the Government of Ontario provided $1.55 million from the College Equipment and Renewal Fund for the purchase of key equipment within the building.[13]
Humber Lakeshore Campus
Located along the shores of Lake Ontario, at Kipling and Lake Shore Blvd. W, Humber's Lakeshore Campus located in New Toronto has approximately 7,200 full-time students, with 400 living in residence.[9] The Lakeshore Campus sits on the large grounds of the former Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital and Lakeshore Teachers College, in the west-end New Toronto neighborhood of Toronto (formerly Etobicoke). When leased by Humber, the college vowed to keep the historical site in good condition and enhance its park-like setting as an asset to the Southern Etobicoke community. The campus now consists of a number of cottage buildings and the more modern and now renovated Lakeshore Teachers College facilities that were extensively re-worked in the early 1980s. The L-Building[14] was opened in 2011 at the Lakeshore Campus, as an addition to the cottages located around it. In May 2013, artist Harley Valentine's sculpture Persephone, after the mythic Greek queen of the underworld, was installed in the front plaza of the L-Building. The Lakeshore Campus was used as the location of the Police Academy in the 'Police Academy' film series.
Queensway Campus
In 1968, Humber opened Queensway 1 Campus which was located at 56 Queen Elizabeth Blvd; however, it was later renamed Lakeshore 2 Campus in 1975. It was home to Funeral Service Education Program which was launched for the first time in 1968/69 academic year. The campus closed its doors in 1989 and the program was moved to the North campus as part of the Health Sciences Division.[15]
Other locations
On September 25, 2019, Humber announced the decision to close its Orangeville campus at the end of June 2021 and launch a new International Graduate School in downtown Toronto.[16]
The Humber Centre for Skilled Trades and Technology and the Humber Transportation Training Centre each operate from facilities near but separated from the North Campus, offering applied training in subjects such as construction trades and truck driving respectively.
Facilities
Digital Broadcast Centre
This centre is home to Humber TV, Radio Humber and all newspaper, magazine and web production. Humber is the only GTA College with a CRTC campus instructional license and fully operational radio station, 96.9 Radio Humber.[17]
Arts and Media Studio
The old Lakeshore Lions Arena at 300 Birmingham Street is now home to Humber's Arts and Media Studio, and opened in 2010. The site is part of the Lakeshore Campus site.
Centre for Urban Ecology
The LEED gold certified building includes a green roof, passive solar heating and a biofilter system. It is the only Platinum EcoCentre in Ontario.[18]
