Many Uses


 This building on Bloor St W is now part of U of Toronto but it was built in 1909 by the Meteorological Service Of Canada as their headquarters. It was purchased by U of T in 1971 and was used as its Admissions & Awards building. In 2010 it was taken over by the Munk School of Global Affairs as they expanded on the campus. The building was totally restored and renovated before reopening in January of 2012. It is gorgeous inside.

    That is a very classy Roman arch over the front door. Back then buildings had style. I'm glad it continues to be useful.

    It would look at home in Saltaire - the rough stonework, rounded door and windows. It's lovely.

    It really has that look of a sturdy university building. Only a staircase as an entrance is not tolerated today.
