While otherwise praising the University of Toronto, the jury that handed out the latest Toronto Architecture and Urban Design Awards went out of its way "to register its unanimous dissatisfaction" with the Alumni Gateway, a controversial new structure on College Street at King's College Road, designed in the stripped-down classical style favoured by the architects of various totalitarian regimes -- Nazi, Fascist, Communist -- during the 1930s. The jury further registered its "hope that the university will reconsider the strategy of defining its perimeter with ponderous ceremonial portals."
