Join us for the relaunch of the TSA Building Tours program with a visit to the recently completed, award-winning revitalization of UofT’s historic University College!

After a long hiatus we are excited to announce the return of our popular building tours program, and we are starting the season with a bang with a behind-the-scenes tour of the recently completed, award-winning revitalization of the University of Toronto’s iconic University College.

Led by Kohn Shnier + ERA, Architects in Association, this strategic and surgical revitalization balanced many mandates including historical preservation, building systems and program modernization, and universal accessibility within a time-honoured heritage structure. Key to this revitalization is the re-introduction of the library back into the Great Halls it once occupied. The resulting design has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Ontario Library Association’s 2021 Library Architectural and Design Transformation Award and the OAA’s Design Excellence Award.
