We’re thrilled to announce the unveiling of our brand-new third-floor staff lounge.

This space has been designed with YOU — our staff — in mind, providing a comfortable and quiet environment where staff can relax, recharge, and connect with colleagues. It’s a step toward enhancing Staff Experience, a top priority highlighted in our Strategic Plan 2026.

A big thank you to the Staff Advisory Committee and our Capital Planning team for their hard work and dedication in bringing this vision to life.

The design includes panel walls that allow ambient natural lighting with a delineation of space to provide privacy from the thoroughfare. The lounge has comfortable seating for 58 people, accommodating both individual and small-group seating. There are multi-height tables, benches, coffee tables, and fresh, uplifting colours and patterns on the new furniture. Power sources are conveniently available in the space with both traditional and USB plugs to charge mobile devices or laptops.

We invite all staff, professional staff, volunteers and learners to take a moment to have a look and enjoy a well-deserved break in this beautiful space.
