The Spadina Circle - Russell
Street intersection is a significant gateway to the southwest part of
the campus. The form of Spadina Circle and the surrounding buildings create
a one-of-a-kind place in the city and a wonderful opportunity to restore
a gem of the past while creating a significant entry to the University.
The University Development Site on the north end of the Circle and the
existing historic building can add to the tradition of courtyard buildings
at the University. |
The Demonstration Site combines Spadina
Circle and a re-worked Russell Street to create a new entry to the southwest
part of the campus. Huron and Russell Streets will demonstrate a new
image for the streets of the West Campus, one that makes the streets
distinctive and recognizable as an integral part of the open space on
campus, in which a better balance between automobiles, pedestrians and
streetscapes is achieved.
The return of Spadina Circle as a landscape
of landmark quality is a goal of this project.
