Facing a housing crunch, the University of Toronto reached an agreement with the City of Toronto and local community groups, allowing it to build a much-needed, new 23-storey student residence at the corner of Spadina and Sussex Avenues.
The building will house 508 students while providing student amenities, townhouses for faculty and retail space along Spadina Avenue. It will enable more students to live where they study and socialize – right in the heart of downtown Toronto – and will be the most sustainable residence ever built by the University.
Working with Diamond Schmitt and The Daniels Corporation, Total Opening Consultants developed the architectural hardware schedule and specifications in accordance with University of Toronto’s standards. The specification included an all-in-one SALTO card access system with battery-operated locks.
