It may seem quaint now, but at the time, the very concept of Sheridan opening a school in Mississauga was treated as a running joke - something that had been discussed for more than 25 years at that point. The organizers played a video with Sheridan grad/noted Canadian comedian Patrick McKenna (The Red Green Show) somewhat mockingly - and almost in a pleading tone of voice - asking for City Council to approve their plans and get the funding needed to open a third branch because of skyrocketing enrollment and more post-secondary options in the region. Well, here we are in the current day and that prophecy finally came true. It was worth the wait. I've now had the opportunity to visit this site three times over the last six months and have been suitably impressed by the overall design and aesthetic, and that's coming from someone who made his bones at the Trafalgar Campus. Rest assured: this is a beautiful site that fits well in the City Centre, almost to the point of stealing the thunder from City Hall and Square One across the street. I most recently attended a funding announcement here at the campus, and was surprised by the premium the builders placed on beauty over functionality. You can barely walk through the place without running smackdab into a giant blue "S" emblazoned proudly over a window looking out, and the materials they've used here are leagues beyond either Davis or Trafalgar. Sprawling atriums, long straightaways and glass monoliths seem to be the norm here. There are also a couple of interesting exhibits I found myself stopping to stare at, including a men's fashion space near one of the cafeterias. This being the City Centre, there are of course multiple cafes within the campus - God forbid anyone should be bothered to walk across the street and go to any of the myriad options for coffee within a one-block radius, including multiple Starbucks, Second Cup and Panera locations. Even then, the Starbucks within this site doesn't seem to have nearly the amount of selection or service that its sister location shares within the mall. As this is Yelp and food should be involved, the pictures I've posted should also be proof enough. The organizers brought in a selection of donuts and food spreads which I suspect were made in-house. This is a space that I'm excited to revisit, because it offers a lot (from an educational and design standpoint) to the community, and I'm interested to see how funding for the (as of this writing) newly-announced STEM innovation lab will affect the school's popularity. Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie said during the announcement that she wanted to make this campus a lynchpin of the Region's "innovation corridor", and I have no reason to doubt her on this point. If you're in the area, this site is well worth a walk through - it's a compelling sight in the city's centre sprawl.

But for such a renowned institute "the best medical school in Canada?", the actual building, classrooms and especially laboratories while containing enough to hold classes and perform research at are not to the level they should be. Everything looks worn out and there are countless labs that just lack any windows, are super cluttered and just too close spaced for there to be an effective research environment compared to most of the new research institutes that pop up that actively promote an open area for multiple labs to share things and work together. Now there are lots of labs in here that do share and work together, but from what I hear and see the actual layout of the building does not make all this collaboration a breeze. There are a couple of large lecture halls that have seen some famous scientists come to hold talks at, and the seats in both those rooms are all good and comfortable for the most part. Classrooms are mainly consisted of individual immovable chairs with attached tables in smaller than average rooms which is actually a good thing as most classes I've had here (in higher years) encourage discussion and the smaller class sizes help that cause. In the last few years, the cafeteria area has undergone some renovations and has linked up with the far nicer "CCBR" building, there is a Starbucks and a Tim Hortons just a few corridors from each other as well as a food serving area that's a standard around the campus with a stir fry station, grill, sandwich stop etc. So while not cheap, if you are hungry and within the limited business hours you will find something to fill your hunger while seated at a large and comfy dining area. A major renovation to modernize the whole facility will be very costly and disruptive and I highly doubt it would get a massive changeover anytime soon, but the campus in general has been coming up with some stellar new research buildings that one can afford to let it slide that this building remains like this for the time being.

Also the "make your own salad" area needs to be cheaper, I've shockingly spent over $15 on one before because I had no idea how much it weighed until the cashier weighed it. :-( If healthy, delicious food options were a bit cheaper here, I'd eat here a lot more.

Sprawled out on several blocks between Spadina and Bay Streets (western to eastern extremes) and College and Bloor Street West (southern to northern boundaries), the university's downtown campus (they also have campuses in Scarborough and Mississauga) is an example of amazing use of urban space and planning. The school's epicentre is located on St. George Street, between Bloor Street West and College Street. Walking on this street, not only are some of the school's most notable buildings (e.g. Robarts Library, Rotman Business School, Newman Centre) Buy also many food trucks that cater to students and staff daily.

To my knowledge, the rooms there are pretty typical of most single residence dorms but I've not heard any big negatives about it. While I have absolutely zero experience with them as an educational institution, what my review will be based on is their library (Caven Library) and the building in general. In my mind, University College, Hart House and Knox are the 3 most beautiful buildings on campus. And the numerous times I've seen Knox being transformed in to a movie set is a testimony to this (biggest movie set here as of 2011 is The Incredible Hulk). And due to it being a "Christian" place it is not a heavily trafficked building as students are probably intimidated by it's religious aura.They have one of the most beautiful spots in the entire campus in it's green and somewhat gothicy quad that so many students are unaware of. The library is also one of the prettiest and naturally quiet libraries around on campus. High ceilings and large windows makes you feel like you're studying in a church (well it might have been one back in the day) and the fact that most spots are individual tables with privacy screens is probably the main reason behind the natural unimposed silence you can enjoy here while studying. The last time I was there, power outlets were hard to come by, but that could have changed since UofT libraries have been undergoing renovations as of late. If you are sick and tired of studying at Robarts or Gerstein, Knox is a great alternative, if you are not in the mood to really check it out, use it as a scenic short cut to get between St George Street and King's College Circle.

The original OCA had a well deserved reputation as a art school before 1970, when students actually gained valuable skills and professors believed they should pay attention to their students and offer real training. Sadly at that time, the traditional concept was abandoned in favour of embracing a "free school" format. Teachers, except for a very few, just stopped teaching and became "advisors." If students asked for more, they were told they wanted to be spoon-fed. But this is NOT a graduate school - the students coming into first year do need instruction. There is a serious disconnect that ultimately short-changes the young people who enrol, believing the somehow sustained reputation that the school boasts but does not support.
