The Building(s) of UTSC
A Social Timeline
Introduction
The University of Toronto Scarborough campus is the culmination of historical, social, and institutional processes that date back to the 1960s.
Displayed on the right is a digital copy of a map of the UTSC campus, as of 2022, provided by the UTSC website.
From plans to reality: An architectural model of Scarborough College (later the Andrews Building of UTSC) is on the left and a photograph of the completed Andrews Building in 1966 is on the right.
"Basically, I’m satisfied with it, but what’s most gratifying is the use of the building. You know the idiom, ‘We make space; you make the place.’” -John Andrews, in "Interview with John Andrews," Marooned, Christmas '67.
This timeline reveals both the institutional and social history of UTSC's campus through charting the making of space and place. This refers to the physical development of the campus as well as how students, faculty, visitors, and guests have experienced these buildings.
Below, you will find a thematic timeline that describes how the University of Toronto Scarborough campus came to be, as of 2022. You will see how external and internal factors, such as governmental funding and student initiatives, have contributed to the making of the campus.

After that, feel free to use the navigation bar to go to sections that may be interesting, compelling, or relevant to you.
Where is Scarborough College?
At its inception, UTSC was called ‘Scarborough College.’ Scarborough College, located at Military Trail and Ellesmere Road, began construction in 1964 and was expected to open in 1965. However, a construction strike resulted in the college not being ready for the incoming class until January 1966 (source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years).
This map shows the different locations where Scarborough College courses were held until Scarborough College's opening in 1966.
1964
Scarborough College offered its first courses as ten evening courses, serving over 300 students, at Birchmount Park Collegiate Institute in September 1964 (Source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years).
1965
Due to delays brought about by a construction strike, Scarborough College students attended classes in the vacant zoology building at the St. George campus from September to December 1965 (Source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years).
1966
Scarborough College was installed in the Andrews Building in January 1966, with the official opening ceremony held in October 1966 (Source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years).
1966: The Original Scarborough College: The Science Wing, Meeting Place, and Humanities Wing
The Science Wing, Meeting Place, and Humanities Wing, which is known as the Andrews Building, is the original structure of Scarborough College. In fact, it was remarked that the Andrews Building is Scarborough College (source: Anonymous, "Award of Excellence: Dead Centre." The Canadian Architect 43, no. 1, 1998). Construction began in 1964 with an expected completion in 1965 but a construction strike pushed the opening of the building to 1966. This building represented Phase One of Scarborough College, with the expectation that expansion would occur outward from the S and H Wings as the college grew (source: Decade Book).

The Andrews Building bears its name from the architect who designed the building, John Andrews.
There are mixed impressions of the building. The imposing structure and concrete of the Andrews Building has been described by some as intimidating and foreboding (source: Anonymous, "Scarborough College, Ontario: Architects: Page & Steele and John Andrews." The Canadian Architect 11, no. 5, 1966). On the other hand, the building’s architecture is critically acclaimed, and was featured in the January 13, 1967 edition of the Canadian Time magazine, and world renowned, as remarked by Principal Plumptre in his speech during the opening ceremony (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ).
"Need I tell you that this building is already world-famous? Accounts of it, pictures of it, have been appearing not only in the leading architectural journals of the world but in newspapers and magazines in many countries." - A.F.W. Plumptre, at the Opening of Scarborough College, 1966.
Convenience
As Pete Peroff remarked, “The fact that all our classes are in one building makes for a more leisurely pace during class changes and relieves us from having to tramp across a large campus in bad weather." (source: Pete Peroff, “Dialogue,” in Marooned 2, no. 1, Christmas '67)
Accessibility
David Onley remarked that the accessible layout of Scarborough College provided “a seamless transition” from high school and “enabled me therefore to fully participate in the college life and the college community life." (source: David Onley, 2015). In fact, he remarked that “it was easily the most accessible post-secondary facility in the province” in 1970 and continues to be a “remarkably accessible facility” now (source: Joshua Miller, "In Conversation with the Honourable David Onley," The Varsity, 2014).
Homemaking: The Story of Residences
The residence areas of UTSC: Townhouse-style residences are highlighted in red and Joan Foley Hall is in blue.
The residences that can be seen today, both townhouses and Joan Foley Hall, were not initially planned for Scarborough College at its inception. Rather, it was expected that the campus would serve the local community and thus, not have residences (source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years).
However, the need for residences was soon realized as a student sleep-in occurred in October 1968 to protest the government's delay in approving the addition of residences to the campus (source: Doug Murray, "Scarborough Sleeps In," The Varsity, October 9, 1968). This led to the establishment of a co-operative using seven nearby houses as residences to house 50 students (source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years).

By 1971 plans were made for townhouse-style residences to house 250 students, which opened in the fall of 1973 on the east side of the campus (source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years). The Student Village was brought about by student initiative, through students lobbying Scarborough councilors, the Minister of Housing, as well as local MPs and MPPs (source: David Onley, 2015).
36 more townhouses were added in December 1984, accommodating an additional 144 students. The West Village, which features townhouse-style residences located to the west of the campus, opens in 1990 to accommodate an additional 142 students (source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years).

Recreation Wing - Bladen Wing - BV
Pictured above is the construction of the R-Wing in the early 1970s (top left), the completed R or Bladen Wing in the early 1970s (top middle), the bridge connecting the Bladen and H-Wing in the 1970s (top right), the exterior of the Bladen Wing in 2022 (bottom left) and the absence of a bridge in 2022 (bottom right).
The Recreation Wing, or 'R-Wing' and later the Bladen Wing, opened in 1973. This building included classrooms, office space, a gymnasium, sports facility, and a fine arts studio (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ). This building was part of “Phase 2(a)” of the master plan designed by John Andrews International Pty. Ltd. However, these plans were modestly scaled back following a construction freeze implemented by the government of Ontario in 1971 (source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years).
A photograph of the exterior of the Bladen Wing, dated to 2006.
Currently, the Bladen Wing, or BV, holds the UTSC Bookstore, as well as classrooms, computer labs, and study spaces.
A Tale of Many Libraries
1966
A temporary library is created from unused office space in the upper levels of SW, creating the Scarborough College Library.
1978
Frustrated with the lack of library and storage space, students sign a referendum to pledge $10 per student for the next 10 years, contributing a total of $400,000 towards the cost of a new library.
1982
After years of lobbying and fundraising, the Vincent W. Bladen Library opens in 1982.
2003
The Academic Resource Centre opens in 2003, signaling the beginning of the UTSC Library.
This photograph depicts students in the temporary Scarborough College Library during the 1971-192 academic year.
Scarborough College Library
Originally intended as office space, a portion of the fifth and sixth floors of the Science Wing in 1966 became the Scarborough College Library to accommodate the research needs of the first students of Scarborough College (source: UTSC Archives Legacy Collection, Library Subseries, File 6-65). A provincial freeze on capital spending halted plans for the library that was originally planned to be added in 1972.
This library featured a circulatory area, reference room, periodical room, and a total of 137 study carrels dispersed on the fifth and sixth floor (source: "Introductory Lecture" transcript, UTSC Archives Legacy Collection, Library Subseries, File 6-65).
This photograph, depicting students in the temporary library, was used as a part of a proposal for a new library.
Scarborough College quickly outgrew its makeshift library (source: Beverley Smith. “Library Cramped, Students Plan $400,000 Fund.” The Globe and Mail, February 5, 1980). Two local houses were converted for book storage in 1968 and 1970, and tunnels, portables, and a barn were also appropriated as book storage areas (source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years). Such storage methods soiled many of the books, with 2,000 books having to be cleaned and sprayed, according to John Ball (source: Smith, "Library Cramped."). Additionally, the 150 seats available in the Scarborough College Library were not enough to accommodate the 2000 students who attended the college during the early 70s (source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years).
Head Librarian, John Ball, is photographed accepting a $400,000 cheque from Scarborough College students to be used towards the new Bladen Library, dated to 1979.
Students Pledge for a New Library
A referendum was passed in 1978, with a 90% approval rate, in which students agreed to contribute $10 per student for the next 10 years towards the construction of a new library space, with this fund totaling $400,000. Student Council members also approached the Ministry of Colleges and Universities concerning the possibility and cost of a new library (source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years).
John Ball, the head librarian, described the referendum and student initiative as the “catalyst” for the construction of the Bladen Library (source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years).
Pictured above is the inside entrance of the V.W. Bladen Library.
Vincent W. Bladen Library
Construction for the new library began in 1981, following nine years of fundraising and efforts to gain approval for construction. The Vincent W. Bladen Library opened in 1982, housed in an addition to the east side of the R-Wing (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ). The library's namesake, Vincent W. Bladen, was the Dean of Arts and Science and an honorary lecturer at Scarborough College before his death in 1981 (source: John Ball, The First Twenty-Five Years).
The photographs above display the Bladen Library while under construction (left) and the study spaces and stacks of the Bladen Library on March 15, 1982 (right).

UTSC Library
By 1999, it was recognized that academic resources, such as the Bladen Library, Teaching and Learning Services, and Computing and Networking Services, needed more space (source: UTSC Archives Legacy Collection, Library Subseries, File 6-65). Plans for a new facility housed in the Academic Resource Centre began to form in 1999 (UTSC Archives Legacy Collection, Library Subseries, File 6-65). The Bladen Library was demolished to make way for the Academic Resource Centre, which housed a new library. The UTSC Library opened in 2003.
N'Sheemaehn Child Care Centre
The N’Sheemaehn Child Care Centre opened in 1990, catering to the children of students, staff, faculty, and the community (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ).
On the right is a photograph from the opening ceremony of the N’Sheemaehn Child Care Centre in 1990 with Marla Miller (President of the N’Sheemaehn Board of Directors), U of T President Robert Pritchard, Scarborough Campus Principal Paul Thompson, Councillor Ron Moeser, Scarborough Mayor Joyce Trimmer, and MPP Alvin Curling.
“It [the N’Sheemaehn Child Care Centre] was just a fabulous resource to have as a working mother. … It gave me great confidence in working because I felt my children were well taken care of and were learning all the right things.” Kim McLean, Chief Administrative Officer of U of T, (source: Kim McLean, 2014).
Pictured on the right is a photograph from the 10th Anniversary Celebration held for the N’Sheemaehn Child Care Centre.
Leigha Lee Browne Theatre
The Meeting Place, as of 1985, was the only location on campus with enough space to stage a large-scale production. However, the "atrocious" acoustics necessitated the proposal and planning of an art center to be added to Scarborough College (source: Judith Begley. A Market Research Report for the Construction of the Arts Centre at Scarborough College. December 18, 1985).
To the right is a photograph of the Scarborough College Chorus performing in the Meeting Place in 1993.
This led to the fundraising efforts for "Scarborough Hall," an arts centre featuring a theatre, studio, and gallery which would serve Scarborough College and the greater community (source: UTSC Archives Legacy Collection, Scarborough College Council Subseries, File 5-51). In the end, $400,000 was raised for Scarborough Hall.
Pictured to the right is a portion of a promotional brochure for Scarborough Hall (Found in the UTSC Archives Legacy Collection, Scarborough College Council Subseries, File 5-51).
Scarborough Hall was never realized. Instead, the $400,000 raised for Scarborough Hall went towards transforming the old TV Studio into the Leigha Lee Browne Theatre, which opened in 1993 (source: Paula Sperdakos, 2020).
Pictured to the right is a group of people posing in front of the entrance to the Leigha Lee Browne Theatre, circa 1993.
SuperBuild - A New Phase of UTSC
SuperBuild was a five-year initiative, beginning in 2000, implemented by the Provincial Government to invest a total of $20 billion towards developing the province’s infrastructure. One of the focuses of the SuperBuild initiative was to “develop Ontario’s Intellectual Capital” through investing in higher education to address the needs of students and communities (source: “Building Ontario’s Future A SuperBuild Progress Report.” Ontario Ministry of Finance, December 2000).
According to Whitehead, $150 million went to the University of Toronto to expand its campus (source: Terri Whitehead, “Brian MacKay-Lyons Architect’s Rationalist Academic Resource Centre Contrasts Elegantly with a 1960s University of Toronto Campus,” Architectural Record 192, no. 8, 2004). This marked a new period of physical growth for UTSC.
As Jeff Rybak described in an oral history, when he began his time as a student at UTSC in 2002, the campus consisted of the Andrews Building, the Bladen Wing, portables, and residences.
“Basically nothing had been added to the campus since the early 80s. And then things blew up.” (source: Jeff Rybak, 2019).
Pictured to the right is a visual representation of the 2001 UTSC master plan, with pink indicating areas of expansion.
Academic Resource Centre - AC
The plans for the Academic Resource Centre were unveiled in 1998. The ARC opened in 2003, built in time to accommodate the “baby boom echo generation” and double cohort (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ). The V. W. Bladen Library was demolished to make way for the new UTSC Library, along with the Doris McCarthy Gallery, smaller classrooms, and a 500-seat lecture hall, AC223.
Pictured above: the ARC architects Bob Boyko and Brian MacKay-Lyons with a model of the ARC (top left), the skeleton of the lecture theatre in the spring of 2003 (top right), the exterior of the ARC in 2003 (bottom left), the first class held in the ARC lecture theatre on September 15, 2003 (bottom middle) and the exterior view of the ARC in 2022 (bottom right).
The upper walkway of the Academic Resource Centre.
This building was designed by the architect Brian MacKay-Lyons in order to “house the intellectual heart of the campus” within a “well-articulated industrial shed.” (source: Terri Whitehead, “Brian MacKay-Lyons Architect’s Rationalist Academic Resource Centre Contrasts Elegantly with a 1960s University of Toronto Campus,” Architectural Record 192, no. 8, 2004).
The architectural designs and materials of the building, such as its copper exterior and exposed concrete infill walls, both compliments and contrasts against the appearance of the Andrews Building (source: Terri Whitehead, “Brian MacKay-Lyons Architect’s Rationalist Academic Resource Centre Contrasts Elegantly with a 1960s University of Toronto Campus,” Architectural Record 192, no. 8, 2004).
Student Centre - SL
A photograph depicting students celebrating the addition of a student centre, dated to 2001.
The Student Centre opened in 2004. This is a student-centered facility, as seen in its inclusion of a food court, campus radio station, study areas, a multi-faith chapel, equity office, and the health center. This building was made possible through a student pledge of $20 million that was made in 2001, the largest student commitment in the history of the University of Toronto (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ).
This photograph showcases a plaque on display in the Student Centre, commemorating the contribution of UTSC students to the building.
Along with the $60 cost per student annually for the next 25 years, students were also involved in the designing and planning of the building, as can be seen with the prioritizing of sustainable practices such as the 18 tons of steel from the demolition of the Royal Ontario Museum that was reused for this building (source: Anonymous, “U of T goes on a building spree.” Building 207, April/May 2003).
“So that’s one of the legacies. I go onto campus now and I can look at that building and say ‘Hm! You did that.’” - Anthony McWatt, past student council president. (source: Anthony McWatt, 2020).
“Students are excited because it’s not just a building, it’s a building run by the students, for the students.” - SSU president Adam Watson
(source: Siobhan Dixon, “Scarborough Student Centre open for business,” The Varsity, October 25, 2004).
Management Wing - Social Science Building - MW
Construction for the Management Wing began in 2003 and the three-storey building opened in 2004. Commonly referred to as MW, this building served as a hub for business and co-op programs at UTSC (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ).
This building also came about through student involvement in the campus. Students pledged to annually commit $60 per full time student for the next 30 years.
To the right is a photograph of the Social Sciences Building, as of April 2022.
The Management Wing, or ‘MW’, was referred to as the Social Sciences Building after the management department moved to the Instructional Centre in 2011.
Given the shift of the social sciences towards Highland Hall following 2018, UTSC is currently in the process of renaming the building in hopes of finding “a new name that reflects its location, as opposed to its occupants,” as remarked by the campus architect Jennifer Adams Peffer (source: Alexa DiFrancesco, "Sub-Committee for Indigenous Place Making to rename UTSC’s Social Science Building," The Varsity, March 27, 2022).
The process of name-selection is ongoing and in conversation with U of T staff, students, and faculty as well as the UTSC Sub-Committee for Indigenous Place Making and U of T’s Truth, Reconciliation and Indigenous Initiatives Advisory Committee in order to contribute to the Indigenizing of the campus (source: Alexa DiFrancesco, "Sub-Committee for Indigenous Place Making to rename UTSC’s Social Science Building," The Varsity, March 27, 2022).
Arts and Administration Building - AA
Construction of the Arts and Administration Building began in 2003. This building would serve as the point of entrance and welcome to the campus.
The four-storey, 60,000 square foot building, which is also referred to as AA, opened in 2005, containing a music and visual arts studios, a 300 seat lecture hall, and a council chamber (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ).
The opening of the Arts and Administration building also created a courtyard designed by Janet Rosenburg Associates which connects the entrance to the heart of the campus through an angled walkway (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ).
Science Research Building - SY
Construction for the Science Research Building began in 2007 and the building, referred to as SY, opened in October 2008.
This addition included a 235-seat lecture hall, 16 laboratories, meeting rooms, offices, and storage area to the campus.
The Humanities and Science Wings were connected, in contrast to being separate buildings, in order to avoid travelling between buildings while exposed to the weather (source: Decade Book).
The connection of the Science Research Building to the end of the Science Wing allows internal travel between buildings, continuing the spirit of the original architecture of the campus (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ).
Instructional Centre - IC
The Instructional Centre, or IC, is a 4-storey facility with green roofs and solar panels that was opened on August 31, 2011.
Pictured to the right is a photograph of the exterior of the Instructional Centre, as of 2022.
This is the first facility to be added north of Ellesmere and it increased the academic space by 25 per cent.
In fact, the 165,000 square foot facility was the largest addition to the campus since its opening with the Andrews Building in 1966 (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ).
Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre - TPASC
The Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, a 365,000 square foot sports facility. TPASC opened in September 2014 and later hosted the Pan Am and Parapan American Games in 2015. It is the current home of UTSC’s Department of Athletics and Recreation.
TPASC was made possible through a joint financial venture between the federal government, the City of Toronto, and the University of Toronto. A student tuition levy contributed $30 million, or 17%, of the facility’s total cost of $205 million (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ).
The levy was passed through a referendum, with a turnout of 2,337 votes, held in March 2010. The levy consists of a payment of $40 for full-time students and $8 for part time students, with an annual inflation of 4% until 2014. After that point, full-time students will pay $140 and part-time students will pay $28 towards the total cost (source: Natalie Sequeira, “UTSC Gets Pan Am Levy,” The Varsity, March 22, 2010).
Pictured to the right is the front entrance of the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, as of 2022.
The concept of the place was to bring, for me, to bring in youth and families from the local area onto the university campus, experience it, and then hopefully those children as they grow, are comfortable to think about going to university. It becomes a place that’s just part of their neighbourhood and part of their experience.” - Kim McLean, Chief Administrative Officer of U of T. (Source: Kim McLean, 2014).
Environmental Science and Chemistry Building - EV
The Environmental Science and Chemistry Building, or EV, is a facility located north of Ellesmere. Construction for EV began in 2013 and the building was completed in July 2015 (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ).
EV is highlighted in blue in the upper left corner.
According to the university, the Environmental Science and Chemistry Building serves as “a science and education research hub on UTSC’s north campus.”
Pictured: the south-facing EV exterior as of 2022.
Highland Hall - HL
Following the addition of the Pan Am Centre north of the campus, the original Athletics Centre on campus was renovated to become the five-storey Highland Hall (source: Shane Kennedy, “$10 million in renovations at UTSC,” The Varsity, October 5, 2015).
As UTSC Media Relations Officer Don Campbell remarked, “Highland Hall is designed in a way to really serve the needs of our students by enhancing the teaching and learning environment at UTSC.” (source: Sabrina Daniele, “A roundup of construction at UTSC,” The Varsity, September 23, 2018).
Highland Hall became the new home of the Social Science Department, as well as an additional 175 study spaces for students, students commons, and a lecture hall of 230 seats (source: Sabrina Daniele, “A roundup of construction at UTSC,” The Varsity, September 23, 2018).
Pictured above: an aerial view of the old athletic centre (left), a view of the exterior of Highland Hall from parking lot A (middle), and an interior view of Highland Hall in 2022 (right).
