Living near Jarvis and Bloor, I often save myself transit fare and walk to work. Although there are lots of ways to walk from Jarvis and Bloor to Queen and Beverley, some of the most picturesque routes involve walking through the University of Toronto. In thinking of Toronto&#8217;s university and college campuses, U of T&#8217;s St. George Campus is both one of the most remarkable, but also one of the most difficult to get a comprehensive picture of. Being so large, and having been built over a long period of time (U of T was established in 1827 and has developed its campus over the ensuing 181 years with buildings from the neo-gothic to the ultra-contemporary), the University of Toronto&#8217;s &#8220;face&#8221; is varied to say the least. To give a snapshot of the campus, I decided to photograph one of my walks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3007\/2808829366_09e804458b.jpg\" height=\"500\" width=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3126\/2808830016_204e18d6f7.jpg\" height=\"500\" width=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Heading south on St. Thomas Street off Bloor I hit Charles, and head west until I see Victoria University (formerly an independent school but now one of U of T&#8217;s three federated universities; U of T also has four constituent colleges, four theological colleges, and one affiliated college). Walking through a stone archway I enter a yard roughly bound by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vicu.utoronto.ca\/about\/history\/One_Hundred_Years_of_Architecture.htm\">Romanesque-revival, collegiate Gothic, and modern buildings<\/a>. Walking south along a stone walkway towards the minimal E.J. Pratt Library is especially interesting because, at the bottom of a stone stair that leads to its base, is a sunken garden and pond. The garden is particularly beautiful against the austere stone of the library, and I can imagine it would be quite nice to sit and read in the ground floor of the library with the windows overlooking the water.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3040\/2807978915_6fdbf2857f.jpg?v=0\" height=\"500\" width=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3127\/2807993557_40a17cf942.jpg\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3210\/2808835204_1fdd31607d.jpg\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3150\/2808836120_f8197eed06.jpg\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Continuing further I end up at the northern tip of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.utoronto.ca\/stmikes\/\">University of St. Michael&#8217;s College<\/a> campus near the edge of Queen&#8217;s Park. Here I cut across the top of the park then skirt between Wycliffe and Trinity colleges on Hoskin Avenue, towards the turkey-shaped massing of the (in)famous <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robarts_Library\">Robarts Library<\/a> in the distance. Robarts and its heavy concrete shapes seem particularly clumsy next to the more refined brick and stone buildings the library hovers over.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3010\/2849893385_65fbf54fa7.jpg\" height=\"500\" width=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3243\/2808842930_f2261c3dc4.jpg?v=0\" height=\"500\" width=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Instead of continuing on Hoskin Avenue to St. George, where Robarts is located, I head south again toward the Gothic-looking Soldier&#8217;s Tower, built to honour the students and faculty who served in World War I.  Through the arch is the heart of U of T&#8217;s St. George Campus, King&#8217;s College Circle, but instead of continuing through the tower&#8217;s archway I head east along a lane of parking spots and turn south into a gap between two buildings.  The gap leads leads into a one of of U of T&#8217;s many quads, and this is one, at the centre of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uc.utoronto.ca\/\">University College<\/a>, is one of my favorites &#8212; behind a quirky, black-and-gold gate, the courtyard is sunken and surrounded by trees. The buildings that enclose it are dissimilar (some newer than others &#8211; possibly owing to a fire that destroyed large parts of University College in 1890) but complementary, and the colonnade that runs along the western edge, with its squat, white columns, feels like a great place for pacing quietly in contemplation.  I like it here because the trees are old, the place is quiet, and the atmosphere is very peaceful.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3084\/2808840186_60c87ba046.jpg?v=0\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3022\/2808843188_4a1f2b838d.jpg?v=0\" height=\"500\" width=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Through the western colonnade is a passage that leads into University College&#8217;s leafy Sir Daniel Wilson Residence courtyard, where I walk until I hit a path that takes me south and onto <a href=\"http:\/\/wvs.topleftpixel.com\/07\/06\/20\/\">King&#8217;s College Circle<\/a>. The circle is centered by an open lawn, and bordered on all sides by buildings from different generations &#8212; neo-Gothic,  Concrete brutalist concrete, and the more classical, dome-topped <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arts.utoronto.ca\/Venues\/Convocation_Hall.htm\">Convocation Hall<\/a>. Walking south on the western edge of the circle I hit Knox College &#8212; a neo-Gothic building built in 1914 &#8212; and I cut across a birch-lined path and end up on St. George Street. Heading south, I pass the contemporary <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greatspaces.utoronto.ca\/projects\/bahen.htm\">Bahen Centre for Information Technology<\/a> &#8212; one of the more contemporary buildings on campus, designed by Toronto&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/dsai.ca\/\">Diamond and Schmitt Architects<\/a>.  Just south of the Bahen Centre I reach College Street, where St. George turns into Beverley and I am off the campus, a palpable shift considering that I am walking now beside two- and three-storey brick homes as opposed to larger, monumental works of institutional architecture.  But the shift from school to the rest of the city is still smooth; that is one of the things I like about U of T&#8217;s campus,  that it physically connects to its surrounding neighborhood from so many entry points, so that walking on and off the campus from the surrounding areas in the city city is easy, even pleasant, allowing students and non-students alike to quickly cross boarders.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3018\/2800567662_b353e16b57.jpg?v=0\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>U of T Scarborough Campus <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unlike the University of Toronto&#8217;s St. George Campus, which I walk through frequently, I was much less familiar with the Scarborough campus until my first visit a few weeks ago.  The Scarborough campus is  much larger (with 300 acres of woodlands versus St. George&#8217;s 168 acres of relatively dense urban fabric), services fewer students (with around 10,000 full-time students compared to St. George&#8217;s approximately 50,000), and has a much newer campus (UTS was founded in 1964 as Scarborough College).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3197\/2800568726_c5003bdb23.jpg?v=0\" height=\"500\" width=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3188\/2800567778_b4139e12f1.jpg?v=0\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By the time I arrived at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus, at 1265 Military Trail off Ellesmere Road, night was falling. The bus ride through the northern part of Toronto and into Scarborough set me up with the expectations of an industrial-looking campus with few people walking (or few people period), factory-like buildings, and expansive parking lots. Getting off the bus in front of the school I walked down a lit path edged on one side by dense greenery, at the end of which is University of Toronto Scarborough&#8217;s new Student Centre. The Student Centre&#8217;s hovering metallic box (partially constructed with 18-tonnes of steel from the demolished ROM Gallery) shimmering in the dusk light made me feel like my expectations were misguided; I felt welcome on the campus.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3035\/2799721543_6928bb0ef3.jpg?v=0\" height=\"500\" width=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3199\/2800570108_2f5e7a2f08.jpg?v=0\" height=\"500\" width=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The campus has recently had a $150 million expansion, including the new Student Centre (which was partially funded with a $14 million donation by students &#8212; the largest donation in the school&#8217;s history &#8212; and meets <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Leadership_in_Energy_and_Environmental_Design\">LEED<\/a> Silver criteria), as well as a new residence, classroom spaces, and a gallery.  I can&#8217;t imagine what the campus was like before the new buildings were completed, although I knew before I set foot there that many of its buildings were &#8220;brutalist&#8221; concrete.  Wandering further back into the campus, behind the more contemporary buildings, the concrete buildings stand out in contrast, although I initially didn&#8217;t find them very brutal at all. Designed in the early 1960s by John Andrews (who also designed the CN Tower), the original three buildings are the Humanities Wing, the Science Wing, and the Bladen Wing.  Maybe it is because I was there at dusk, and the sky was soft, but the buildings felt optimistic rather than brutal &#8212; optimistic in the strength and versatility of concrete. Rather than hanging heavily, or oppressively, the concrete buildings seem light, showing a high degree of plasticity and strength through many cantilevered overhangs and walkways. Much of the concrete has also been textured by wooden boards, so it is more textured than a typical slab. The Meeting Place, at the end of the southern end of the Science Wing, is particularly interesting, combining both solidity and lightness with a deep, strong, coffered ceiling in the middle, and slabs of concrete seemingly hanging down effortlessly around the main space.  That is what is cool about concrete &#8212; it is very heavy-looking, but because of its strength it can be made to look like it is floating.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3151\/2799722519_03b7b78ecd.jpg?v=0\" height=\"500\" width=\"375\" \/><br \/>\nThe original buildings overlook an expansive wooded area, from which I could hear crickets chirping and not much else; it was very quiet.  The buildings themselves were open so I took a look around them.  I felt like I was enveloped by concrete &#8212; the corridors move organically through large multi-height spaces, and are bathed in a strange yellowy light.  I spoke to a UTS student later about my experience, enthusiastically describing how interesting and unique the original buildings are and how I was pleasantly surprised by the campus overall.  She stopped my enthusiasm quite short, informing me that spending any length of time in that yellowy light is maddening, and that after a while the concrete really starts bearing down on you, and yes, brutal is a good way to describe it.  She was, however, quite proud of the new, more contemporary buildings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDITOR&#8217;S NOTE: Spacing asked our summer intern Matthew Hague to visit all of Toronto&#8217;s post-secondary institutions and examine the built form of each campus.
