The future home of the ONRamp
The place for innovation at U of T
The future 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.
With Phase One (250,000 square feet) slated to open in early 2023, the striking, glass-clad complex will 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.
The Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus will:
- Anchor Canada’s leading AI, life science, and biomedical/ bioengineering research and innovation cluster
- Connect local and global industry partners, investors and government with researchers, student entrepreneurs, alumni, business leaders and other mentors
- Expand opportunities for student entrepreneurs generating innovative ideas designed to solve society’s challenges
- House the University of Toronto Early Stage Technology (UTEST) accelerator, the Centre for Entrepreneurship & Innovation in the Faculty of Arts & Science and also the Innovation & Partnerships Office to support tech transfer
- Encourage dialogue regarding social and ethical issues arising from technology adoption via the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society
