Science Research Building – SY

Construction for the Science Research Building began in 2007 and the building, referred to as SY, opened in October 2008.  

This addition included a 235-seat lecture hall, 16 laboratories, meeting rooms, offices, and storage area to the campus. 

Pictured to the left is the exterior entrance of the Science Research Building, as of 2022.

The Humanities and Science Wings were connected, in contrast to being separate buildings, in order to avoid travelling between buildings while exposed to the weather (source: Decade Book).  

Located on the right is a photograph of the interior of SY, with this hallway leading to the Science Wing.

The connection of the Science Research Building to the end of the Science Wing allows internal travel between buildings, continuing the spirit of the original architecture of the campus (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at  https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline).
