UTM is proud to prioritize sustainability in every building project on campus. Since 2006, all large academic and research capital projects have been designed to meet at least LEED Silver certification — an internationally recognized green building standard set by the Canada Green Building Council.
LEED certification is based on five key categories:
- Sustainable site development
- Water efficiency
- Energy efficiency
- Materials selection
- Indoor environmental quality
UTM now includes:
- Five LEED Silver buildings
- One LEED Gold building
- One LEED Gold renovation
Beyond formal certifications, environmental responsibility is built into all UTM construction and renovation efforts, with a focus on energy-efficient technology, smart use of space, and eco-friendly solutions at every stage.
Featured: New Science Building
Opened in late 2024, UTM’s New Science Building is:
- One of the most energy-efficient bio/chem lab facilities in North America
- Designed for interdisciplinary research and innovation
- On track for LEED Gold certification
Key features:
- Home to the Centre for Medicinal Chemistry, SpinUp wet lab incubator, Forensic Science Program
- Houses a high-performance data centre and Facilities Management and Planning spaces
- Includes a geothermal heating/cooling system and rooftop solar array
- Connects directly to the William G. Davis Building
Despite the high energy demands of lab spaces, this building achieves a remarkably low carbon footprint — advancing U of T’s climate-positive goals.
