Mission
To improve campus life through student-centric design.
Vision
A campus experience designed for every student to flourish academically, socially, and personally.
Values
Listen to Student Experiences
We’re driven by student stories. We think understanding their journeys is the key to cultural change.
Inspire with Meaningful Data
We use design-thinking, user-experience, and qualitative-research techniques to find and query data on underlying needs. By combining evidence and empathy, we help the UofT community better understand its members.
Learn Together
We work with both students and staff. Our interdisciplinary teams use curiosity to learn new techniques and solve problems together.
Accessibility by Design
Accessibility shouldn’t be an accident or an add-on. We design with accessibility in mind from the beginning, so our projects, events, and materials are available to as many people as possible.
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
We want to learn about more than one group of UofT students; we want to learn and design for everyone. By practising Equity-Centred Community Design, we find insights and solutions that include all students and community partners.
