Introduction

The University of Toronto Scarborough campus is the culmination of historical, social, and institutional processes that date back to the 1960s.   

Displayed above is a digital copy of a map of the UTSC campus, as of 2022, provided by the UTSC website. This depicts the current state of the UTSC campus, serving as an endpoint for the expansion that this project tracks through describing the addition of new buildings to the UTSC campus.

“Basically, I’m satisfied with it, but what’s most gratifying is the use of the building. You know the idiom, ‘We make space; you make the place.’”

— John Andrews, in “Interview with John Andrews,” Marooned, Christmas ’67.

This timeline reveals both the institutional and social history of UTSC’s campus through charting the making of space and place. This refers to the physical development of the campus as well as how students, faculty, visitors, and guests have experienced these buildings.

As you explore this site, you will find a thematic timeline that describes how the University of Toronto Scarborough campus came to be, as of 2022. You will see how external and internal factors, such as governmental funding and student initiatives, have contributed to the making of the campus.
