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.

“The discovery of the North Pole is one of those realities which could not be avoided. It is the wages which human perseverance pays itself when it thinks that something is taking too long. The world needed a discoverer of the North Pole, and in all areas of social activity, merit was less important here than opportunity.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
“And no less firmly do I hold that we shall one day recognize in Freud’s life-work the cornerstone for the building of a new anthropology and therewith of a new structure, to which many stones are being brought up today, which shall be the future dwelling of a wiser and freer humanity.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
