Experiential Learning Commons

Discover a space where students, alumni, and employer partners can build meaningful connections through networking and mentorship, develop skills to solve societal challenges through experiential learning, and explore career interests and job opportunities through recruitment initiatives.

The Experiential Learning Commons (ELC) facilitates a hub of activity and collaboration between industry partners, researchers and scholars, and students, recent graduates and alumni from across the University of Toronto.  

This space is shared by Student Life, Career Exploration & Education; the Faculty of Arts & Science, Experiential Learning Outreach & Support; and the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering, Engineering Career Centre.  

See how Canadian Interiors (2024) highlighted the Experiential Learning Commons and the impact of its design on engagement.
