University of Toronto Buildings - North Building

North Building

The North Building was the original educational building for UTM, formerly known as Erindale College. Construction for the North Building began in 1966. It was originally intended to be temporary and to be used for administrative purposes. Classes in the building began for the 1967 school year, with 155 students, 28 faculty, and 40 staff. Since then numerous additions and remodels have been made to the building. Today the only part of the original structure that remains is the cafeteria and some classrooms of the first floor. The building is now home to the Department of Humanities. Room capacities range from 48-person classrooms to a 200-person lecture hall and the cafe contains Coyote Jacks, Pita Pit, Tim Hortons and Mr. Sub vendors.

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or building:

    The Bostonians are really, as a race, far inferior in point of anything beyond mere intellect to any other set upon the continent of North America. They are decidedly the most servile imitators of the English it is possible to conceive.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    An island always pleases my imagination, even the smallest, as a small continent and integral portion of the globe. I have a fancy for building my hut on one. Even a bare, grassy isle, which I can see entirely over at a glance, has some undefined and mysterious charm for me.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
