In 1976, The Oakham 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 Oakham 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.
