The '''University of Toronto Scarborough''' (also known as '''U of T Scarborough''' or '''UTSC''') is a [[satellite campus]] of the [[University of Toronto]]. Based in the [[Scarborough, Toronto|Scarborough]] district of [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], Canada, the campus is set upon [[suburb]]an parkland in the residential [[List of neighbourhoods in Toronto|neighbourhood]] of [[Highland Creek, Toronto|Highland Creek]]. It was established in 1964 as ''Scarborough College'', a [[collegiate university|constituent college]] of the [[University of Toronto Faculty of Arts and Science|Faculty of Arts and Science]]. The college expanded into a mid-sized university following its designation as an autonomic division of the university in 1972.
Academics of the campus are centered on a variety of [[undergraduate education|undergraduate]] studies in the [[List of academic disciplines|disciplines]] of management, arts and sciences, whilst also hosting limited [[postgraduate education|postgraduate]] research programs. Its [[neuroscience]] program was the first to be offered in the nation. The campus is noted for being the university's sole provider of [[cooperative education]] programs, as well as the [[Bachelor of Business Administration]] degree. Through affiliation with the adjacent [[Centennial College|Centennial Science and Technology Centre]], it also offers enrolment in [[double degree|joint programs]].
The campus has traditionally held the annual [[Watts Lectures|F. B. Watts Memorial Lectures]], which has hosted several internationally renowned [[scholar]]s, since 1970. Its [[nuclear magnetic resonance]] laboratory was the first of its kind in Canada, allowing the campus to conduct influential research in the [[environmental science]]s. The original building of the campus was internationally acclaimed for its architectural design. The Dan Lang Field, home to the [[baseball]] team of the [[Toronto Varsity Blues]], is also situated at the campus.
==History==
The {{Convert|152|ha|acre|adj=on}} land along the valley of the [[Highland Creek (Toronto)|Highland Creek]] in [[Scarborough, Toronto|Scarborough]], [[Ontario]] was purchased in 1911 by [[Toronto]]-based businessman Miller Lash, who developed the site into his summer estate with a mansion, today known as the Miller Lash House. The mansion included 17 rooms, a barn, a [[Carriage house|coach house]], and three houses for his staff to dwell. Over the following years, over 100 acres of the estate was also used as farmland. Following the death of Miller Lash in 1941, the estate was acquired by E. L. McLean, an insurance broker, in 1944 for $59,000.<ref>[http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/bylaws/2001/law0744.pdf City of Toronto By-Law No. 744-2001]</ref> He made new additions to the estate, including a swimming pool and change room, and a [[retaining wall]] made in stone.
About {{convert|82|ha|acre}} of property was later purchased from McLean, just before his death, by the [[University of Toronto]] for about $650,000 in 1963, as part of the university's regional expansion. The [[groundskeeping|groundskeeper]] of the land would continue to reside in the Highland Creek valley for the next 29 years. McLean's additions to the Miller Lash House, which would eventually become the residence of the campus's principal, were modernized and 70 acres of surrounding land north of the estate were also acquired. The University of Toronto established the Scarborough College as part of the institution's [[collegiate university]] system and declared the campus as a [[satellite campus|branch]] of the [[University of Toronto Faculty of Arts and Science|Faculty of Arts and Science]]. D. C. Williams was appointed as the principal of Scarborough College and the planned [[University of Toronto Mississauga|Erindale College]], as well as [[Chancellor (education)|vice-president]] of the university. The college's faculty, consisting of 16 members, was also established and headquartered at the main campus in [[Downtown Toronto]]. Designed by [[John Andrews (architect)|John Andrews]], the first building of the campus began construction the following year.<ref name="timeline">[http://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/~advancement/about/timeline.html UTSC Timeline]</ref> Due to delays in construction after a strike among workers, the Scarborough College opened in temporary classes at the main campus to 191 full-time students in 1965. The first building was completed in time for the following academic year.
The college included a {{convert|6000|sqft|sqm|adj=on}} television production studio. This was for a unique video lecturing system the college was initially planned to have, that relies on the use of [[closed circuit television]] for teaching purposes.<ref>[http://www.news.utoronto.ca/bios/02/history14.htm In the "tuned in" sixties, what post-secondary school was planned as a TV college?]</ref> The system grabbed international media attention, and was complimented in the 1967 edition of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]''.<ref name="the-underground.ca">{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.the-underground.ca/2010/11/11/utsc%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Copen%E2%80%9D-minded-architecture-embraces-modernity/ |title=The Underground » UTSC’s "Open"-minded Architecture |publisher=The-underground.ca |date=2010-11-11 |accessdate=2012-04-01}}</ref> However, the video lecturing system was abandoned after it was condemned for the lack of communicability of students with instructors. In 1972, the campus was reorganized as a separately governed division of the university's Faculty of Arts and Science, developing its own curriculum. In 1973, it became the first [[higher education|post-secondary]] institution to adopt a [[course credit]] system in Ontario and the first [[cooperative education]] program was established. The campus adopted its present name after being renamed "University of Toronto Scarborough Campus" in 1983 and "University of Toronto at Scarborough" in 1996.
==Campus==
The University of Toronto Scarborough campus is mid-sized.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.globecampus.ca/in-the-news/article/dont-neglect-satellite-campuses-when-choosing-a-school/ |title=~ Don't neglect satellite campuses when choosing a school |publisher=Globecampus.ca |date=2009-11-27 |accessdate=2012-04-01 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120319004044/http://www.globecampus.ca/in-the-news/article/dont-neglect-satellite-campuses-when-choosing-a-school/ |archivedate=March 19, 2012 }}</ref> It sits on {{convert|123|ha|acre}} of land, forming the west side of the [[Highland Creek, Toronto|Highland Creek]] neighbourhood in [[Scarborough, Toronto|Scarborough]], the east-end of [[Toronto]]. It is bounded entirely by [[Morningside Avenue (Toronto)|Morningside Avenue]] to the west. Its eastern, northern and southern borders are not definite, however; the campus grounds extend north slightly south of [[Ontario Highway 401|Highway 401]] and extends south slightly north of [[Kingston Road (Toronto)|Old Kingston Road]]. Its eastern boundary is [[Danforth Avenue|Military Trail]] while south of [[Ellesmere Road]] and slightly further east while north of Ellesmere Road. Unlike the university's main campus, the University of Toronto Scarborough is located in a [[suburban]] area, consisting of residential houses along its eastern side and [[urban forestry]] on its southern and western side. The neighbourhood's [[Highland Creek (Toronto)|namesake river]] runs through the southern portion of the grounds and its valley consists of pedestrian trails that link the campus to nearby [[List of parks in Toronto|parks]] and [[List of neighbourhoods in Toronto|neighbourhoods]].
[[Image:John Andrews Building Scarborough 2010 (2).jpg|thumb|right|Looking west: Science Wing ahead, Bladen Building on the left, and the Arts and Administration Building on the right.]]
The Andrews Building, the first completed building of the campus named after its designer John Andrews, was built in a [[brutalist architecture|brutalist]] architectural style and completed in 1964.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://utsccommons.utsc.utoronto.ca/fall-2014/features/atop-valley |title=Atop the valley |publisher=University of Toronto Scarborough |date=Fall 2014}}</ref> The interiors were made to mimic streets of a city, with wide hallways and balconies on upper floors. The building is divided into two wings, known as the Science Wing and the Humanities Wing. The Meeting Place, a large [[atrium (architecture)|atrium]] at the center of both wings, is often used to hold events.<ref name="the-underground.ca"/> The design of the Andrews Building, along with its unique [[closed circuit television]] teaching system, were targets of international acclaim during the decade.<ref name="Grant">{{cite news| url=http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/university-of-torontos-scarborough-campus-to-get-a-major-makeover/article1687850/singlepage/#articlecontent | location=Toronto | work=The Globe and Mail | first=Kelly | last=Grant | title=University of Toronto's Scarborough campus to get a major makeover | date=2010-08-27}}</ref>
The 1970s and onward saw new buildings being designed in a [[modernism|modernist]] style.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://webapps.utsc.utoronto.ca/ose/story.php?id=2155 |title=Explore UTSC’s story of intriguing architecture at Doors Open Toronto |publisher=Webapps.utsc.utoronto.ca |date=2010-05-21 |accessdate=2012-04-01}}</ref> The Recreational Wing was completed in 1972, followed by the Bladen Building which opened the next year and named after [[Vincent Bladen]], former dean of the [[University of Toronto Faculty of Arts and Science|Faculty of Arts and Science]]. The Bladen Building housed the [[University of Toronto Libraries|University of Toronto Scarborough Library]], then known as the Bladen Library. The N'Sheemaehn Child Care Centre, one of the university's [[non-profit organization|non-profit]] child [[day care]] facilities, opened in 1990. An underground corridor completed in 1995, known as the Hall of Excellence, connects the Bladen Building to the Andrews Building.
===Expansion since 2000===
[[Double cohort]] brought challenges to the teaching, study and residence spaces at UTSC due to increase in first-year enrolment. In response, the Academic Research Centre (ARC) and Joan Foley Hall were constructed.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://magazine.utoronto.ca/presidents-message/university-of-toronto-double-cohort-students/ |title=Double Vision - How U of T coped with the cohort |publisher=UofT Magazine |date=Winter 2004}}</ref> The ARC was built in 2003 as an extension of the Bladen Building with a copper finish. It allowed for the relocation and expansion of the library to its present state and introduced the campus's first 300-seat lecture theatre, which has since held the [[Watts Lectures|Watts Lecture]] series, after formerly being held in the Meeting Place. The Doris McCarthy Gallery, also found in the ARC, exhibits works by Scarborough-born artist and campus alumni, [[Doris McCarthy]]. The Student Centre was opened in 2004 through a project that was initiated and funded by students. Constructed using 18 tonnes of recycled steel from a demolished gallery at the [[Royal Ontario Museum]], the three-storey Student Centre earned a [[Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design]] (LEED) certification as well as a Green Design Award from the City of Toronto.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://webapps.utsc.utoronto.ca/ose/story.php?id=3 | title = Acclaim for UTSC Student Centre Architecture, Design | publisher = University of Toronto Scarborough | date = May 4, 2005 | accessdate = 2007-10-09}}</ref> The Social Sciences Building, home of the Department of Social Sciences, also opened in 2004 as the Management Wing but took its present name after the completion of the Instructional Centre in 2011, which became the new home of the Department of Management, the Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, and offices of [[cooperative education]] programs. Brick and [[limestone]] were used to create the Arts and Administration Building, completed in 2005,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.montgomerysisam.com/projects/arts-administration-building-utsc |title=Arts and Administration Building, UTSC | Montgomery Sisam Architects |publisher=Montgomerysisam.com |date= |accessdate=2012-04-01}}</ref> which holds the Office of the Registrar and the principal's office.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wx.toronto.ca/inter/culture/doorsopen2010.nsf/BuildingsAll/514C5D211F1A1002852576D60077D072?OpenDocument |title=City of Toronto - Doors Open Toronto |publisher=Wx.toronto.ca |date= |accessdate=2012-04-01}}</ref> The Science Research Building, where [[post-graduate]] research facilities and a lecture hall are located, is an extension of the Science Wing that was completed in 2008.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://webapps.utsc.utoronto.ca/ose/story.php?id=144 | title = Science facility will enhance innovation in research | publisher = University of Toronto Scarborough Media Release| date = 28 May 2006 | accessdate = 2007-01-22}}</ref>
Since 2009, the university has undertook a proposal to substantially expand the campus north of Ellesmere Road, starting with the construction of the Instructional Centre, funded by Canada's Economic Action Plan, completed in 2011. The [[Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre]] (built 2014) was [[Venues of the 2015 Pan American Games|one of the main venues]] of the [[2015 Pan American Games]] and [[2015 Parapan American Games]].<ref name="Grant"/> Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre brought pool facility to campus and significantly expanded the size of the gym. The Parapan American Games also brought an addition of seven accessible tennis courts to the Highland Creek valley. The Environmental Science and Chemistry Building completed in summer 2015 was the third building to open in the north grounds.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/sites/utsc.utoronto.ca.aboutus/files/docs/ESCB_FACTS_Sep2014.pdf |title=Environmental Science and Chemistry Building |publisher=University of Toronto Scarborough |accessdate=2015-12-26}}</ref> In 2016, the construction of Highland Hall began on the south grounds of the campus, where the former recreation centre was situated.<ref>http://thevarsity.ca/2015/10/05/10-million-in-renovations-at-utsc/</ref> After completion, Highland Hall will house lecture halls, the registrar office, accessibility services and some social science departments.
===Residences===
Student residence is located primarily in the southern part of the campus, consisting of [[townhouse]] style homes. The first residence area, the Student Village, which was able to accommodate 250 students, was opened in 1973 after pressure from traveling students. In 1985, a former building of the [[Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce]] (CIBC) near the campus was also converted to student residence. The four-storey high Joan Foley Hall, opened in 2003, is the first apartment-style residence complex on campus, named after the campus's first female principal.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://webapps.utsc.utoronto.ca/ose/story.php?id=52 |title=First New Residence in 11 Years Opens at UTSC |publisher=Webapps.utsc.utoronto.ca |date=2003-11-11 |accessdate=2012-04-01}}</ref>
===Transit===
The campus is linked to nearby transportation hubs by the [[Toronto Transit Commission]], [[GO Transit]], and [[Durham Region Transit]].
Under the original [[Transit City]] plan, [[Scarborough Malvern LRT]], which passes through UTSC, would be constructed by 2015 in time for the 2015 Pan American Games. In 2010, the LRT was cancelled by then-Toronto Mayor [[Rob Ford]] in the first week of taking office. The plan was revived and approved by the Toronto City Council in 2016 under the [[Eglinton Crosstown LRT]] East extension plan.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2016.EX13.3 |title=Toronto City Council Agenda |publisher=City of Toronto |date=2016-03-31}}</ref>

The '''University of Toronto Scarborough''' (also known as '''U of T Scarborough''' or '''UTSC''') is a [[satellite campus]] of the [[University of Toronto]]. Based in the [[Scarborough, Toronto|Scarborough]] district of [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], Canada, the campus is set upon [[suburb]]an parkland in the residential [[List of neighbourhoods in Toronto|neighbourhood]] of [[Highland Creek, Toronto|Highland Creek]]. It was established in 1964 as ''Scarborough College'', a [[collegiate university|constituent college]] of the [[University of Toronto Faculty of Arts and Science|Faculty of Arts and Science]]. The college expanded into a mid-sized university following its designation as an autonomic division of the university in 1972.
Academics of the campus are centered on a variety of [[undergraduate education|undergraduate]] studies in the [[List of academic disciplines|disciplines]] of management, arts and sciences, whilst also hosting limited [[postgraduate education|postgraduate]] research programs. Its [[neuroscience]] program was the first to be offered in the nation. The campus is noted for being the university's sole provider of [[cooperative education]] programs, as well as the [[Bachelor of Business Administration]] degree. Through affiliation with the adjacent [[Centennial College|Centennial Science and Technology Centre]], it also offers enrolment in [[double degree|joint programs]].
The campus has traditionally held the annual [[Watts Lectures|F. B. Watts Memorial Lectures]], which has hosted several internationally renowned [[scholar]]s, since 1970. Its [[nuclear magnetic resonance]] laboratory was the first of its kind in Canada, allowing the campus to conduct influential research in the [[environmental science]]s. The original building of the campus was internationally acclaimed for its architectural design. The Dan Lang Field, home to the [[baseball]] team of the [[Toronto Varsity Blues]], is also situated at the campus.
==History==
The {{Convert|152|ha|acre|adj=on}} land along the valley of the [[Highland Creek (Toronto)|Highland Creek]] in [[Scarborough, Toronto|Scarborough]], [[Ontario]] was purchased in 1911 by [[Toronto]]-based businessman Miller Lash, who developed the site into his summer estate with a mansion, today known as the Miller Lash House. The mansion included 17 rooms, a barn, a [[Carriage house|coach house]], and three houses for his staff to dwell. Over the following years, over 100 acres of the estate was also used as farmland. Following the death of Miller Lash in 1941, the estate was acquired by E. L. McLean, an insurance broker, in 1944 for $59,000.<ref>[http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/bylaws/2001/law0744.pdf City of Toronto By-Law No. 744-2001]</ref> He made new additions to the estate, including a swimming pool and change room, and a [[retaining wall]] made in stone.
About {{convert|82|ha|acre}} of property was later purchased from McLean, just before his death, by the [[University of Toronto]] for about $650,000 in 1963, as part of the university's regional expansion. The [[groundskeeping|groundskeeper]] of the land would continue to reside in the Highland Creek valley for the next 29 years. McLean's additions to the Miller Lash House, which would eventually become the residence of the campus's principal, were modernized and 70 acres of surrounding land north of the estate were also acquired. The University of Toronto established the Scarborough College as part of the institution's [[collegiate university]] system and declared the campus as a [[satellite campus|branch]] of the [[University of Toronto Faculty of Arts and Science|Faculty of Arts and Science]]. D. C. Williams was appointed as the principal of Scarborough College and the planned [[University of Toronto Mississauga|Erindale College]], as well as [[Chancellor (education)|vice-president]] of the university. The college's faculty, consisting of 16 members, was also established and headquartered at the main campus in [[Downtown Toronto]]. Designed by [[John Andrews (architect)|John Andrews]], the first building of the campus began construction the following year.<ref name="timeline">[http://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/~advancement/about/timeline.html UTSC Timeline]</ref> Due to delays in construction after a strike among workers, the Scarborough College opened in temporary classes at the main campus to 191 full-time students in 1965. The first building was completed in time for the following academic year.
The college included a {{convert|6000|sqft|sqm|adj=on}} television production studio. This was for a unique video lecturing system the college was initially planned to have, that relies on the use of [[closed circuit television]] for teaching purposes.<ref>[http://www.news.utoronto.ca/bios/02/history14.htm In the "tuned in" sixties, what post-secondary school was planned as a TV college?]</ref> The system grabbed international media attention, and was complimented in the 1967 edition of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]''.<ref name="the-underground.ca">{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.the-underground.ca/2010/11/11/utsc%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Copen%E2%80%9D-minded-architecture-embraces-modernity/ |title=The Underground » UTSC’s "Open"-minded Architecture |publisher=The-underground.ca |date=2010-11-11 |accessdate=2012-04-01}}</ref> However, the video lecturing system was abandoned after it was condemned for the lack of communicability of students with instructors. In 1972, the campus was reorganized as a separately governed division of the university's Faculty of Arts and Science, developing its own curriculum. In 1973, it became the first [[higher education|post-secondary]] institution to adopt a [[course credit]] system in Ontario and the first [[cooperative education]] program was established. The campus adopted its present name after being renamed "University of Toronto Scarborough Campus" in 1983 and "University of Toronto at Scarborough" in 1996.
==Campus==
The University of Toronto Scarborough campus is mid-sized.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.globecampus.ca/in-the-news/article/dont-neglect-satellite-campuses-when-choosing-a-school/ |title=~ Don't neglect satellite campuses when choosing a school |publisher=Globecampus.ca |date=2009-11-27 |accessdate=2012-04-01 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120319004044/http://www.globecampus.ca/in-the-news/article/dont-neglect-satellite-campuses-when-choosing-a-school/ |archivedate=March 19, 2012 }}</ref> It sits on {{convert|123|ha|acre}} of land, forming the west side of the [[Highland Creek, Toronto|Highland Creek]] neighbourhood in [[Scarborough, Toronto|Scarborough]], the east-end of [[Toronto]]. It is bounded entirely by [[Morningside Avenue (Toronto)|Morningside Avenue]] to the west. Its eastern, northern and southern borders are not definite, however; the campus grounds extend north slightly south of [[Ontario Highway 401|Highway 401]] and extends south slightly north of [[Kingston Road (Toronto)|Old Kingston Road]]. Its eastern boundary is [[Danforth Avenue|Military Trail]] while south of [[Ellesmere Road]] and slightly further east while north of Ellesmere Road. Unlike the university's main campus, the University of Toronto Scarborough is located in a [[suburban]] area, consisting of residential houses along its eastern side and [[urban forestry]] on its southern and western side. The neighbourhood's [[Highland Creek (Toronto)|namesake river]] runs through the southern portion of the grounds and its valley consists of pedestrian trails that link the campus to nearby [[List of parks in Toronto|parks]] and [[List of neighbourhoods in Toronto|neighbourhoods]].
[[Image:John Andrews Building Scarborough 2010 (2).jpg|thumb|right|Looking west: Science Wing ahead, Bladen Building on the left, and the Arts and Administration Building on the right.]]
The Andrews Building, the first completed building of the campus named after its designer John Andrews, was built in a [[brutalist architecture|brutalist]] architectural style and completed in 1964.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://utsccommons.utsc.utoronto.ca/fall-2014/features/atop-valley |title=Atop the valley |publisher=University of Toronto Scarborough |date=Fall 2014}}</ref> The interiors were made to mimic streets of a city, with wide hallways and balconies on upper floors. The building is divided into two wings, known as the Science Wing and the Humanities Wing. The Meeting Place, a large [[atrium (architecture)|atrium]] at the center of both wings, is often used to hold events.<ref name="the-underground.ca"/> The design of the Andrews Building, along with its unique [[closed circuit television]] teaching system, were targets of international acclaim during the decade.<ref name="Grant">{{cite news| url=http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/university-of-torontos-scarborough-campus-to-get-a-major-makeover/article1687850/singlepage/#articlecontent | location=Toronto | work=The Globe and Mail | first=Kelly | last=Grant | title=University of Toronto's Scarborough campus to get a major makeover | date=2010-08-27}}</ref>

The Bladen Building housed the [[University of Toronto Libraries|University of Toronto Scarborough Library]], then known as the Bladen Library. The N'Sheemaehn Child Care Centre, one of the university's [[non-profit organization|non-profit]] child [[day care]] facilities, opened in 1990. An underground corridor completed in 1995, known as the Hall of Excellence, connects the Bladen Building to the Andrews Building.
[[Double cohort]] brought challenges to the teaching, study and residence spaces at the campus due to increase in first-year enrollment. In response, the Academic Research Centre (ARC) and Joan Foley Hall were constructed.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://magazine.utoronto.ca/presidents-message/university-of-toronto-double-cohort-students/ |title=Double Vision - How U of T coped with the cohort |publisher=UofT Magazine |date=Winter 2004}}</ref> The ARC was built in 2003 as an extension of the Bladen Building with a copper finish. It allowed for the relocation and expansion of the library to its present state and introduced the campus's first 300-seat lecture theatre, which has since held the [[Watts Lectures|Watts Lecture]] series, after formerly being held in the Meeting Place. The Doris McCarthy Gallery, also found in the ARC, exhibits works by Scarborough-born artist and campus alumni, [[Doris McCarthy]]. The Student Centre was opened in 2004 through a project that was initiated and funded by students. Constructed using 18 tonnes of recycled steel from a demolished gallery at the [[Royal Ontario Museum]], the three-storey Student Centre earned a [[Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design]] (LEED) certification as well as a Green Design Award from the City of Toronto.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://webapps.utsc.utoronto.ca/ose/story.php?id=3 | title = Acclaim for UTSC Student Centre Architecture, Design | publisher = University of Toronto Scarborough | date = May 4, 2005 | accessdate = 2007-10-09}}</ref> The Social Sciences Building, home of the Department of Social Sciences, also opened in 2004 as the Management Wing but took its present name after the completion of the Instructional Centre in 2011, which became the new home of the Department of Management, the Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, and offices of [[cooperative education]] programs.

Since 2009, the university has undertook a proposal to substantially expand the campus north of Ellesmere Road, starting with the construction of the Instructional Centre, funded by Canada's Economic Action Plan, completed in 2011. The [[Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre]] (built 2014) was [[Venues of the 2015 Pan American Games|one of the main venues]] of the [[2015 Pan American Games]] and [[2015 Parapan American Games]].<ref name="Grant"/> Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre brought pool facility to campus and significantly expanded the size of the gym. The Parapan American Games also brought an addition of seven accessible tennis courts to the Highland Creek valley. The Environmental Science and Chemistry Building completed in summer 2015 was the third building to open in the north grounds.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/sites/utsc.utoronto.ca.aboutus/files/docs/ESCB_FACTS_Sep2014.pdf |title=Environmental Science and Chemistry Building |publisher=University of Toronto Scarborough |accessdate=2015-12-26}}</ref> In 2016, the construction of Highland Hall began on the south grounds of the campus, where the former recreation centre was situated.<ref>http://thevarsity.ca/2015/10/05/10-million-in-renovations-at-utsc/</ref> After completion, Highland Hall will house lecture halls, the registrar office, accessibility services and some social science departments.
Student residence is located primarily in the southern part of the campus, consisting of [[townhouse]] style homes. The first residence area, the Student Village, which was able to accommodate 250 students, was opened in 1973 after pressure from traveling students. In 1985, a former building of the [[Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce]] (CIBC) near the campus was also converted to student residence. The four-storey high Joan Foley Hall, opened in 2003, is the first apartment-style residence complex on campus, named after the campus's first female principal.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://webapps.utsc.utoronto.ca/ose/story.php?id=52 |title=First New Residence in 11 Years Opens at UTSC |publisher=Webapps.utsc.utoronto.ca |date=2003-11-11 |accessdate=2012-04-01}}</ref> The campus is linked to nearby transportation hubs by the [[Toronto Transit Commission]], [[GO Transit]], and [[Durham Region Transit]].

Since 2009, the university has undertook a proposal to substantially expand the campus north of Ellesmere Road, starting with the construction of the Instructional Centre, funded by Canada's Economic Action Plan, completed in 2011. The [[Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre]] (built 2014) was [[Venues of the 2015 Pan American Games|one of the main venues]] of the [[2015 Pan American Games]] and [[2015 Parapan American Games]].<ref name="Grant"/> Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre brought pool facility to campus and significantly expanded the size of the gym. The Parapan American Games also brought an addition of seven accessible tennis courts to the Highland Creek valley. The Environmental Science and Chemistry Building completed in summer 2015 was the third building to open in the north grounds.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/sites/utsc.utoronto.ca.aboutus/files/docs/ESCB_FACTS_Sep2014.pdf |title=Environmental Science and Chemistry Building |publisher=University of Toronto Scarborough |accessdate=2015-12-26}}</ref> In 2016, the construction of Highland Hall began on the south grounds of the campus, where the former recreation centre was situated.<ref>http://thevarsity.ca/2015/10/05/10-million-in-renovations-at-utsc/</ref> After completion, Highland Hall will house lecture halls, the registrar office, accessibility services and some social science departments.
-===Residences===
-Student residence is located primarily in the southern part of the campus, consisting of [[townhouse]] style homes. The first residence area, the Student Village, which was able to accommodate 250 students, was opened in 1973 after pressure from traveling students. In 1985, a former building of the [[Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce]] (CIBC) near the campus was also converted to student residence. The four-storey high Joan Foley Hall, opened in 2003, is the first apartment-style residence complex on campus, named after the campus's first female principal.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://webapps.utsc.utoronto.ca/ose/story.php?id=52 |title=First New Residence in 11 Years Opens at UTSC |publisher=Webapps.utsc.utoronto.ca |date=2003-11-11 |accessdate=2012-04-01}}</ref>

The '''University of Toronto Scarborough''' (also known as '''U of T Scarborough''' or '''UTSC''') is a [[satellite campus]] of the [[University of Toronto]]. Based in the [[Scarborough, Toronto|Scarborough]] district of [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], Canada, the campus is set upon [[suburb]]an parkland in the residential [[List of neighbourhoods in Toronto|neighbourhood]] of [[Highland Creek, Toronto|Highland Creek]]. It was established in 1964 as ''Scarborough College'', a [[collegiate university|constituent college]] of the [[University of Toronto Faculty of Arts and Science|Faculty of Arts and Science]]. The college expanded into a mid-sized university following its designation as an autonomic division of the university in 1972.
Academics of the campus are centered on a variety of [[undergraduate education|undergraduate]] studies in the [[List of academic disciplines|disciplines]] of management, arts and sciences, whilst also hosting limited [[postgraduate education|postgraduate]] research programs. Its [[neuroscience]] program was the first to be offered in the nation. The campus is noted for being the university's sole provider of [[cooperative education]] programs, as well as the [[Bachelor of Business Administration]] degree. Through affiliation with the adjacent [[Centennial College|Centennial Science and Technology Centre]], it also offers enrolment in [[double degree|joint programs]].
The campus has traditionally held the annual [[Watts Lectures|F. B. Watts Memorial Lectures]], which has hosted several internationally renowned [[scholar]]s, since 1970. Its [[nuclear magnetic resonance]] laboratory was the first of its kind in Canada, allowing the campus to conduct influential research in the [[environmental science]]s. The original building of the campus was internationally acclaimed for its architectural design. The Dan Lang Field, home to the [[baseball]] team of the [[Toronto Varsity Blues]], is also situated at the campus.
==History==
The {{Convert|152|ha|acre|adj=on}} land along the valley of the [[Highland Creek (Toronto)|Highland Creek]] in [[Scarborough, Toronto|Scarborough]], [[Ontario]] was purchased in 1911 by [[Toronto]]-based businessman Miller Lash, who developed the site into his summer estate with a mansion, today known as the Miller Lash House. The mansion included 17 rooms, a barn, a [[Carriage house|coach house]], and three houses for his staff to dwell. Over the following years, over 100 acres of the estate was also used as farmland. Following the death of Miller Lash in 1941, the estate was acquired by E. L. McLean, an insurance broker, in 1944 for $59,000.<ref>[http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/bylaws/2001/law0744.pdf City of Toronto By-Law No. 744-2001]</ref> He made new additions to the estate, including a swimming pool and change room, and a [[retaining wall]] made in stone.
About {{convert|82|ha|acre}} of property was later purchased from McLean, just before his death, by the [[University of Toronto]] for about $650,000 in 1963, as part of the university's regional expansion. The [[groundskeeping|groundskeeper]] of the land would continue to reside in the Highland Creek valley for the next 29 years. McLean's additions to the Miller Lash House, which would eventually become the residence of the campus's principal, were modernized and 70 acres of surrounding land north of the estate were also acquired. The University of Toronto established the Scarborough College as part of the institution's [[collegiate university]] system and declared the campus as a [[satellite campus|branch]] of the [[University of Toronto Faculty of Arts and Science|Faculty of Arts and Science]]. D. C. Williams was appointed as the principal of Scarborough College and the planned [[University of Toronto Mississauga|Erindale College]], as well as [[Chancellor (education)|vice-president]] of the university. The college's faculty, consisting of 16 members, was also established and headquartered at the main campus in [[Downtown Toronto]]. Designed by [[John Andrews (architect)|John Andrews]], the first building of the campus began construction the following year.<ref name="timeline">[http://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/~advancement/about/timeline.html UTSC Timeline]</ref> Due to delays in construction after a strike among workers, the Scarborough College opened in temporary classes at the main campus to 191 full-time students in 1965. The first building was completed in time for the following academic year.
The college included a {{convert|6000|sqft|sqm|adj=on}} television production studio. This was for a unique video lecturing system the college was initially planned to have, that relies on the use of [[closed circuit television]] for teaching purposes.<ref>[http://www.news.utoronto.ca/bios/02/history14.htm In the "tuned in" sixties, what post-secondary school was planned as a TV college?]</ref> The system grabbed international media attention, and was complimented in the 1967 edition of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]''.<ref name="the-underground.ca">{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.the-underground.ca/2010/11/11/utsc%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Copen%E2%80%9D-minded-architecture-embraces-modernity/ |title=The Underground » UTSC’s "Open"-minded Architecture |publisher=The-underground.ca |date=2010-11-11 |accessdate=2012-04-01}}</ref> However, the video lecturing system was abandoned after it was condemned for the lack of communicability of students with instructors. In 1972, the campus was reorganized as a separately governed division of the university's Faculty of Arts and Science, developing its own curriculum. In 1973, it became the first [[higher education|post-secondary]] institution to adopt a [[course credit]] system in Ontario and the first [[cooperative education]] program was established. The campus adopted its present name after being renamed "University of Toronto Scarborough Campus" in 1983 and "University of Toronto at Scarborough" in 1996.
==Campus==
The University of Toronto Scarborough campus is mid-sized.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.globecampus.ca/in-the-news/article/dont-neglect-satellite-campuses-when-choosing-a-school/ |title=~ Don't neglect satellite campuses when choosing a school |publisher=Globecampus.ca |date=2009-11-27 |accessdate=2012-04-01 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120319004044/http://www.globecampus.ca/in-the-news/article/dont-neglect-satellite-campuses-when-choosing-a-school/ |archivedate=March 19, 2012 }}</ref> It sits on {{convert|123|ha|acre}} of land, forming the west side of the [[Highland Creek, Toronto|Highland Creek]] neighbourhood in [[Scarborough, Toronto|Scarborough]], the east-end of [[Toronto]]. It is bounded entirely by [[Morningside Avenue (Toronto)|Morningside Avenue]] to the west. Its eastern, northern and southern borders are not definite, however; the campus grounds extend north slightly south of [[Ontario Highway 401|Highway 401]] and extends south slightly north of [[Kingston Road (Toronto)|Old Kingston Road]]. Its eastern boundary is [[Danforth Avenue|Military Trail]] while south of [[Ellesmere Road]] and slightly further east while north of Ellesmere Road. Unlike the university's main campus, the University of Toronto Scarborough is located in a [[suburban]] area, consisting of residential houses along its eastern side and [[urban forestry]] on its southern and western side. The neighbourhood's [[Highland Creek (Toronto)|namesake river]] runs through the southern portion of the grounds and its valley consists of pedestrian trails that link the campus to nearby [[List of parks in Toronto|parks]] and [[List of neighbourhoods in Toronto|neighbourhoods]].
[[Image:John Andrews Building Scarborough 2010 (2).jpg|thumb|right|Looking west: Science Wing ahead, Bladen Building on the left, and the Arts and Administration Building on the right.]]
The Andrews Building, the first completed building of the campus named after its designer John Andrews, was built in a [[brutalist architecture|brutalist]] architectural style and completed in 1964.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://utsccommons.utsc.utoronto.ca/fall-2014/features/atop-valley |title=Atop the valley |publisher=University of Toronto Scarborough |date=Fall 2014}}</ref> The interiors were made to mimic streets of a city, with wide hallways and balconies on upper floors. The building is divided into two wings, known as the Science Wing and the Humanities Wing. The Meeting Place, a large [[atrium (architecture)|atrium]] at the center of both wings, is often used to hold events.<ref name="the-underground.ca"/> The design of the Andrews Building, along with its unique [[closed circuit television]] teaching system, were targets of international acclaim during the decade.<ref name="Grant">{{cite news| url=http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/university-of-torontos-scarborough-campus-to-get-a-major-makeover/article1687850/singlepage/#articlecontent | location=Toronto | work=The Globe and Mail | first=Kelly | last=Grant | title=University of Toronto's Scarborough campus to get a major makeover | date=2010-08-27}}</ref>

The Bladen Building housed the [[University of Toronto Libraries|University of Toronto Scarborough Library]], then known as the Bladen Library. The N'Sheemaehn Child Care Centre, one of the university's [[non-profit organization|non-profit]] child [[day care]] facilities, opened in 1990. An underground corridor completed in 1995, known as the Hall of Excellence, connects the Bladen Building to the Andrews Building.
[[Double cohort]] brought challenges to the teaching, study and residence spaces at the campus due to increase in first-year enrollment. In response, the Academic Research Centre (ARC) and Joan Foley Hall were constructed.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://magazine.utoronto.ca/presidents-message/university-of-toronto-double-cohort-students/ |title=Double Vision - How U of T coped with the cohort |publisher=UofT Magazine |date=Winter 2004}}</ref> The ARC was built in 2003 as an extension of the Bladen Building with a copper finish. It allowed for the relocation and expansion of the library to its present state and introduced the campus's first 300-seat lecture theatre, which has since held the [[Watts Lectures|Watts Lecture]] series, after formerly being held in the Meeting Place. The Doris McCarthy Gallery, also found in the ARC, exhibits works by Scarborough-born artist and campus alumni, [[Doris McCarthy]]. The Student Centre was opened in 2004 through a project that was initiated and funded by students.
