Designed by Stantec, the new Workforce & Visual Arts Center at Temple College opened in mid-2025, creating a flexible, future-ready environment where creative disciplines and technical workforce training intersect. The 71,260-square-foot facility replaces outdated campus spaces with a modern hub that supports evolving industry needs while serving as a new northern gateway to the college. Through architecture, interiors, and integrated engineering services, Stantec delivered a building that blends visual arts studios, public gallery space, and outdoor creative areas with high-bay workforce labs designed for construction, robotics, agriculture, and emerging technologies.

Flexibility was a driving force behind the design. Overhead electrical busways, adaptable infrastructure, and large work bays allow the facility to quickly evolve, even accommodating specialized additions like semiconductor manufacturing and cleanroom training equipment as program needs change. Working alongside Cloud Construction Company, the team helped Temple College maximize the long-term value of its bond investment while creating a facility that can grow with industry demands. The project involved Neme Design Studio for specialized design work and Perry Office Plus for interior furniture.
