Description
Interior view of the University of Toronto Scarborough in Ontario, designed by John Andrews and completed in 1966. "In fact the building is laid out as an ideal city, with corridors as streets overlooked by interior balconies, and wide stairways and alcoves for spontaneous contact and gatherings. Natural light from skylights and broad windows reinforce the connection to outdoors no matter the weather. The atrium at the nexus of the wings, the four-story Meeting Place, is the essential and metaphoric town square, still today a central focal point of campus life and exchange that opens to an intimate garden at the ravine’s edge,"--University of Toronto Scarborough website.
