Ryerson will build a 21st-century library on this site in the heart of downtown Toronto. The Student Learning Centre will be approximately 160,000 square feet and will be linked to the existing Library building, visible in the background.
Ryerson University President, Sheldon Levy announced on February 10, 2010 the selection of Zeidler Partnership Architects of Toronto in association with Snøhetta of Oslo, Norway and New York City as the co-architects for Ryerson's new Student Learning Centre (SLC).

"We are very pleased that these two internationally acclaimed firms have formed a partnership to design Ryerson's new Student Learning Centre," said Levy. "In addition to a portfolio of award-winning work, they bring unrivalled knowledge of architectural design, libraries and place-making to a building that will boldly mark Ryerson's emergence onto Yonge Street."

The Student Learning Centre will provide Ryerson students with an outstanding environment to study and collaborate, to spark interaction and discovery. It will be a true 21st century library: welcoming, accessible, comfortable, digitally connected and ready to adapt to new technologies, developments and services.
