Description

Seneca College’s School of Legal, Public & Office Administration at the Seneca@York Campus provides students hands-on experience, and practise the theories and strategies highlighted in the School’s Diploma and Graduate Certificate Programs.

The program include offices, meeting rooms, break-out rooms, open workstations, and a state-of-the-art mock courtroom, providing students with spaces to simulate activities and events that take place in real life. The administrative spaces promote both focused-work and collaborative activities, and the mock courtroom includes a raised dais for a judge, a witness box, counsel tables, and multiple display monitors for evidence to be displayed.

The School of Legal, Public & Office Administration and Mock Courtroom are part of 2020 Program Moves (Seneca2020) – the largest series of moves in Seneca’s history, in order to take full advantage of 34,000 sf new space across Seneca campuses. The ambitious, multi-phased project emphasizes a commitment to great student and employee experiences, as well as collaborative, cross-disciplinary and experiential learning.
