Building 21 - McGill University
www.building21.caB21 is an experiment in a new way of learning that develops, nurtures and trains future-ready students. In a world where problems and challenges get more global and complex, B21 provides an environment where intellectual, emotional, creative and thematic diversities are incubated, nurtured and expanded, and where ideas are fueled by passion, beauty, and ethics so that new solutions to new problems can be found. In B21, an undergraduate literature student sits next to a PhD candidate in physics and both work, debate and collaborate with a Master’s student in neuroscience and music. To enhance the uniqueness of B21’s learning environment, we select students by looking at their ‘GPA' - measured in passion, vision and imagination. In B21, we cultivate curiosity-driven research and exploration by developing and enhancing students’ ability to acquire the structure, systems and foundations of knowledge beyond the acknowledged, the recognized and the comfortable. B21 is a true, open and nurturing peer-learning environment. It provides the experience of graduate learning in its purest and simplest form by removing the constraints, restrictions and limitations of programs. To allow this, we provide an environment - support, technologies and mentoring - that permits engaged learner to independently traverse and defy interdisciplinary boundaries.
