Transforming a brutalist building into a state-of-the-art medical school
Toronto Metropolitan University is transforming a suburban municipal building from the 1970s into the home of a medical school for the future. With an aggressive timeline for renovation, the former Bramalea Civic Centre must be transformed and ready to open its doors as TMU’s School of Medicine in September, 2025.
While most of TMU’s facilities are clustered around its downtown Toronto campus, the university always planned to locate its innovative medical school in suburban Brampton, northwest of the city, says Mohamed Lachemi, TMU’s president and vice-chancellor.
