It is home to [The Creative School](/source/The_Creative_School) (formerly the Faculty of Communication and Design) and its departments, including the [RTA School of Media](/source/RTA_School_of_Media). Completed in 1992, it is located at 80 Gould Street in downtown [Toronto](/source/Toronto), [Canada](/source/Canada).

In November 2018, The Creative School opened a new Creative Research Centre, known as the Catalyst, on the 2nd floor of the building.[1] The building is not directly sponsored by [Rogers Communications](/source/Rogers_Communications), although its naming is the result of a personal $12.5 million contribution to the university by that company's longtime owner, [Ted Rogers](/source/Edward_Samuel_Rogers), and his wife Loretta in honour of Ted's father, communications pioneer [Edward S. Rogers, Sr.](/source/Edward_S._Rogers%2C_Sr.)[2] The building is connected to [Kerr Hall South and East](/source/Kerr_Hall) via a pedestrian bridge over Church Street, connecting the second floors of both buildings. ## Research Labs within the Rogers Communication Centre The opening of the Catalyst in November 2018 created a home for a number of research labs inside the Rogers Communication Centre.
