Multi-Faith Space in OAK-319 Has Relocated as of February 17, 2026

The multi-faith space in the SCC (Oakham House - OAK 319) has moved to SCC 309 & SCC 310–right at the top of the 3rd floor stairs in the SCC. Click here to view a map showing the new space within the building. 

As a reminder, the Multi-Faith Space Schedule and Code of Conduct is still in effect in the new space. 
 
From February 16 until March 20, additional multi-faith space can be accessed at the following location on campus:  
  • International Room at the ILC (Main floor, 240 Jarvis St). Drop in access with OneCard. Open 12 PM – 12 AM, February 16 – March 20, excluding March 11.  
Why did the multi-faith space move?  
  • Student Concerns: Our student community has expressed issues with the existing multi-faith space in OAK 319 relating to accessibility, a lack of communal space, and heating/cooling issues. Moving the space to the SCC will allow for two dedicated rooms near the main SCC elevator, a proper communal area, more reliable climate control, and regular support from TMSU front desk staff.  
  • Health & Safety Concerns: The current multi-faith space faces significant health and safety challenges, including capacity issues, narrow hallways that provide no communal space for students, and a blocked fire door and accessible lift due to crowding and personal items left in the hallway. The age of the building has also created structural concerns, including bowing floors. 

About TMU Student Centre

In 1976, The Palin Foundation was incorporated with a mission to create a space for students that was fully student governed. Fast forward to 2007 and that was realized in the building of the new Student Campus Centre adjoining the historic Oakham House at the corner of Gould and Church Streets in downtown Toronto. 

The Palin Foundation administers the Student Campus Centre along with Oakham House. The SCC is home to student unions, affiliated campus groups, The Eyeopener newspaper, Met Radio and the Good Food Centre. Inside Oakham House you’ll find the Office of the Ombudsperson, Oakham Café, The Met Campus Pub and a host of rentable venue spaces.
