Innovation Village at Fanshawe College is a 95,000 sq ft hub for interdisciplinary learning, collaboration, and applied research, located at the heart of the London campus.

Opened in 2024, it integrates advanced technologies, Indigenous-inspired design, and sustainable architecture. Key spaces include the Library Learning Commons, the Diane Blake Centre for XR, Canada Life Village Square, Forwell Hall, maker spaces, and Leap Junction—Fanshawe’s startup incubator. The facility supports hands-on learning through 3D printing, virtual reality, and industry-partnered research in areas like AI and embedded systems.

Indigenous values are reflected in design elements like the Kalihwíyo Circle. Built with mass timber, integrated solar cladding, and bird-safe glazing, the project blends new construction with existing campus buildings.

Innovation Village is a purpose-built environment that fosters entrepreneurship, social impact, and regional economic development, making it a cornerstone for Fanshawe’s commitment to innovation, equity, and sustainability.
