In recent decades, parametric modelling and digital fabrication techniques have revolutionized the practice of architecture and design, allowing practitioners to experiment with intricate geometries, incorporate new materials, and imagine projects of greater complexity.The Daniels Faculty’s digital fabrication laboratory and high-bay construction area offers a variety of computationally controlled technologies, including large 3-axis and 4-axis routers, a fused deposition modelling rapid-prototyping system, a waterjet cutter, a colour 3D printer, a 3D digitizer, a 3D laser scanner, several laser cutters, and a large format vacuum former.The new fabrication lab at One Spadina takes centre stage, providing students and others with first-hand views into the laboratory from the east-west “street” that runs through the centre of the building, connecting all Faculty functions.Adjacent to the digital fabrication laboratory, The Daniels Faculty’s construction workshop includes a full metal and woodworking shop, an assembly space, spray booth, and a large array of materials and tools.Located on the first floor, overlooking the Fabrication Lab, the Faculty’s computing facilities offer photography and audio-visual resources, printers, plotters, photocopiers and scanners, LCD screens, a variety of relevant software, and IT support staff to assist with various computing needs.More information on our digital fabrication lab, workshop, and computer services for current students and faculty and staff can be found on our "Info for" pages.

The Architecture and Design Gallery, a unique new space in the lower level of the Daniels Building, is dedicated to showcasing and advocating for the important ways that design shapes our cities, landscapes, and daily lives. Its exhibitions and installations will explore and promote experimental and prescient forms of contemporary architecture and urbanism — in all their artistic, scientific, and cultural dimensions.Located on a landmark site in Toronto, at the nexus of one of the world's leading research universities and a thriving downtown creative sector, this flexible 7,500-square-foot facility — the only one of its kind in Toronto — will harness a rich network of local and international collaborators. The Gallery will also draw on the talents of the Daniels Faculty and U of T’s remarkable community of scholars, urbanists, students and design professionals to test ideas, provoke needed debate, and foster a deeper understanding of the role design plays in imagining and building a better world.Capital support of the Architecture and Design Gallery is provided by the Estate of James Drewry Stewart.This project has been made possible in part by the Government of Canada.
Ce projet a été rendu possible en partie grâce au gouvernement du Canada.
