Expansion
Shirreff Hall was developed with expansion in mind, allowing for ease of enlargement and the possible addition of an exclusive women's campus. Copious amounts of land around the building was reserved for future use, although much of the earmarked space would be reallocated for construction of the Life Sciences Centre.
Originally in 1923, only The Annex and the Old Eddy wings were constructed. With new government grants for university residences, Shirreff saw the addition of the New Eddy wing in 1962, and the Newcombe wing in 1967.

Famous quotes containing the word expansion:
“Every expansion of government in business means that government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its errors and wrongs is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation’s press and platform. Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“The fundamental steps of expansion that will open a person, over time, to the full flowering of his or her individuality are the same for both genders. But men and women are rarely in the same place struggling with the same questions at the same age.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
