College Street

Key Buildings, Focal Points and University Development Sites

The College Street frontage is the most prominent aspect of the Front Campus landscape. The broad setback and second level entrances create a distinctive urban streetscape that contains several significant deciduous trees. An open space and subway entrance mark the corner of College Street and University Avenue. The open space is composed of grass and pathways with several mature trees and is an important gateway to the campus.

Changes to the corner of College Street and University Avenue and to Taddle Creek Road as part of University Development Site 15 will significantly alter the massing of the eastern section of the street. These changes include:

• moving the greenhouse that currently fronts onto College Street to the northwest corner of College Street and University Avenue;
• replacing the greenhouse with a new structure; and
• creating a new forecourt to the buildings on Taddle Creek Road.
