Project Description
The “Circle” will once again thrive as the centre of campus, shaping and elevating the student experience. Spacious new plazas and pavilions, meandering paths and gardens, striking vistas and gathering spaces, and removal of surface parking will transform the downtown campus into a much greener, more accessible and socially dynamic place, while at the same time respecting and preserving the intrinsic character, beauty and legacy of one of Canada’s most significant landscapes. The historic core of the university consists of 4 distinct and interconnected open spaces — Front Campus, Hart House Circle, Sir Daniel Wilson Quadrangle and the Back Campus. These spaces are home to some of Canada’s finest architecture, including University College, Convocation Hall and Hart House.
