About the experiential learning centre at the Rosalie Sharp Pavilion
The Rosalie Sharp Pavilion’s refurbishment is a milestone in OCAD U’s Creative City Campus project, boldly re-imagining the use of the space to encompass many forms of experiential learning including studio, research and work-integrated-learning.
Tania Bortolotto designed the renewal of the building, which includes a stainless-steel scrim. The scrim represents a data visualization of downtown Toronto streets overlaid with locations of art and cultural institutions frequented by the university’s students and areas of important public art.
