Back Campus

Key Buildings, Focal Points and University Development Sites

The Back Campus is one of the original features of the University and one of the four major open spaces in the district.

Its four sides are surrounded by architecture of similar scale, quality and materials, including the historic University College, Hart House, Soldiers' Tower, Wycliffe College and Trinity College structures and the contemporary Massey College. All of the buildings around the Back Campus edge are recognized as architecturally significant. The Back Campus is currently used as two playing fields, a tradition expected to continue in the future.

A grove of mature elms along the western edge of the Back Campus is one of the few such stands of trees remaining on the campus.
