Management Wing – Social Science Building – MW
Construction for the Management Wing began in 2003 and the three-storey building opened in 2004. Commonly referred to as MW, this building served as a hub for business and co-op programs at UTSC (source: “Historical Timeline” University of Toronto Scarborough About Us, accessed on February 24, 2022 at https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/aboutus/historical-timeline ).
This building also came about through student involvement in the campus. Students pledged to annually commit $60 per full time student for the next 30 years.
The Management Wing, or ‘MW’, was referred to as the Social Sciences Building after the management department moved to the Instructional Centre in 2011.
Given the shift of the social sciences towards Highland Hall following 2018, UTSC is currently in the process of renaming the building in hopes of finding “a new name that reflects its location, as opposed to its occupants,” as remarked by the campus architect Jennifer Adams Peffer (source: Alexa DiFrancesco, “Sub-Committee for Indigenous Place Making to rename UTSC’s Social Science Building,” The Varsity, March 27, 2022).
The process of name-selection is ongoing and in conversation with U of T staff, students, and faculty as well as the UTSC Sub-Committee for Indigenous Place Making and U of T’s Truth, Reconciliation and Indigenous Initiatives Advisory Committee in order to contribute to the Indigenizing of the campus (source: Alexa DiFrancesco, “Sub-Committee for Indigenous Place Making to rename UTSC’s Social Science Building,” The Varsity, March 27, 2022).
