The Place for Innovation
at U of T
The new home of U of T Entrepreneurship and ONRamp, the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus will eventually spread across 750,000 square feet in the heart of Toronto where the academic, hospital, government and business communities intersect. It was made possible through a generous gift from Gerald Schwartz and Heather Reisman.
Phase One – the West tower (250,000 square feet) opened in fall 2023 to anchor U of T’s unique cluster of world-leading artificial intelligence scientists and startups and serve as HQ for the Vector Institute of Artificial Intelligence. Phase Two will have a strong emphasis on life and health sciences with lab, classroom and space for startup and scaling companies.
