Technology, Planning and Innovation

The Technology Planning & Innovation (TPI) unit is the technical backbone of The Creative School at Toronto Metropolitan University. We are dedicated to supporting both students and faculty as they bring creative ideas to life. TPI ensures that teaching, creative production, and research are powered by robust infrastructure, modern tools, and expert technical guidance. 

TPI’s work spans multiple domains:

• Production Support — providing audio/video production resources and technical staff for labs, studios, events, and media projects.

• Technology Infrastructure & IT Support — delivering network services, digital tools, media systems, and general IT support to students, instructors, and staff. 

• Makerspaces and Fabrication Facilities — managing hands-on labs such as the Design + Technology LAB, where students can access advanced tools for digital fabrication, 3D printing, textile computing, AR/VR, robotics and more. 

• EduTech  — helping embed emerging technologies into curricula, ensuring courses and creative projects stay current with industry standards. 

Through these services, TPI empowers a wide range of people at The Creative School. From first-year students learning technology fundamentals, to experienced faculty running complex media productions, to researchers and creative professionals using cutting-edge tools.
