2019-20 Inventory of Physical Facilities of Ontario Universities

Published: January 12, 2022

The triennial Inventory of Physical Facilities of Ontario Universities reports on how much space universities actually have compared to standards that outline how much space is required for its operations, including classrooms, labs, student spaces and so on. This 2019-20 report highlights the continuing trend that universities are using the space they have efficiently, but that the growth in students continues to outpace the growth in physical space. Universities continue to adapt and modify space to meet the changing needs of students, staff and faculty. Universities are achieving efficiencies by increasing collaborative, multi-purpose and short-term spaces, both when new space is being built and when existing buildings are undergoing major renovations.
