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:
“There are no whole truths; all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays the devil.”
—Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)
“The real dividing line between early childhood and middle childhood is not between the fifth year and the sixth year—it is more nearly when children are about seven or eight, moving on toward nine. Building the barrier at six has no psychological basis. It has come about only from the historic-economic-political fact that the age of six is when we provide schools for all.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
