Commissioned by the Faculty, Peter MacCallum has been documenting the revitalization of One Spadina Crescent — the future home of the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design — since February, 2014.

Originally built as a vista to the lake along Spadina Avenue, and later home to the Knox College and the Connaught Laboratories, One Spadina Crescent is one of Toronto’s most prominent and historic addresses. Its renewal, now underway, represents the largest architecture school expansion ever undertaken in Canada. The project at One Spadina is the University of Toronto’s leading development in design education, research, and outreach on how to build more sustainable, beautiful, and socially just cities.
