University of Toronto

The Campus Guide

Larry Wayne Richards

Series: Campus Guides

Organized as a series of walks through the distinctive precincts of the University of Toronto’s three campuses, this architectural guide offers an intimate view of Canada’s largest university. The St. George campus – deeply embedded in Toronto’s dense urban core – serves a community of 70,000 students. One of the highest-ranked universities in the world, it contains some of the finest architecture in Canada, starting with Frederic Cumberland’s masterpiece, the Norman Romanesque-style University College (1859). Other buildings of note include W. G. Storm’s impressive Romanesque-revival Victoria College building (1892), Darling and Pearson’s Gothic-style Trinity College Building (1925), and Hart House, designed by architects Sproatt and Rolph (1919).
