A new collaborative mural is bringing colour, creativity and calm to the Dawson College Library, thanks to support from the Dawson College Foundation.
Titled In Bloom, the large-scale artwork is now installed in the 6E wing of the Library, on the wall facing Wood Avenue. Tucked into the last section of shelves on the left side off the corridor, the mural transforms an otherwise quiet study area into a vibrant visual experience.

Reconnecting with Nature and transforming the campus, all in a weekend
May 14th, 2026
Two classes of Dawson College students spent an intense weekend on campus May 2–3, getting dirty, sweaty, and wet as they lifted and moved tonnes of soil and took on a variety of physically demanding tasks. In just two days, they transformed several areas of the campus - and themselves. The students were part of two Eco-Landscaping Physical Education course sections taught by Angela Corinthios and Paul Wasacz.
The objective of the course “is to demonstrate that physical activity can take many forms and that many dimensions of wellness can be developed by participating in various activities, like gardening,” Paul said.
“We were one big working unit,” said Angela, who taught this course for the first time this semester. “We were figuring things out and learning together.” The two classes worked on distinct but related Living Campus projects with support from the Office of Sustainability.
