Humber's nugget of joy in a suburban wasteland

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2008 / January 26

The days are short. The nights are long. Sunshine and enlightenment are what we crave during a Canadian winter. Both were in rich supply during my recent trip to Toronto's west end, where Humber College and Taylor Hazell Architects Ltd. have been working together for 15 years to build enriching architecture. Thanks to their inspired complicity, an asylum has been converted into a splendid lakeshore campus, and a recently completed ecology centre on Humber's north campus stands as a triumph amid the surrounding suburban wasteland.
