Toronto university plans new building set to transform downtown intersection Toronto University

Toronto Metropolitan University has an impressive plan to breathe new life into the site of a boring old surface parking lot at Toronto's Dundas and Jarvis intersection.

And unlike the increasingly ambitious tower plans hoping to pierce the surrounding downtown skies, this proposal is actually coming in atthe parking lot at 202 Jarvis Street with a new 14-storey Science Building boasting a slick design from a renowned Danish architecture firm.TMU, formerly known as Ryerson University, had previously applied to construct a 41-storey student residence tower atop a new science building in 2018, later upping that ask to 44 storeys in 2020.

But the institution would ultimately scrap these plans in 2022, instead opting to scale back the proposal dramatically by chopping off the 30 storeys of student residences and focusing solely on the new Science Building component of the proposal. TMU has publicly stated that the change in plans was the result of rising construction costs and a re-prioritization of classroom and lab space over student residence accommodations.
