Correct. There is a concurrent application to lift a Holding (h) symbol from the lands, which is tied to the UTSC Secondary Plan for these lands. Another key indicator is the proposal of a 5-storey institutional building.
 
Updated project description:

Proposed 5-storey institutional building, known as the Instructional Centre Phase 2 at the University of Toronto Scarborough campus. The proposed building will be located on the north corner of Military Trail and Pan Am Drive on the south portion of the existing Parking Lot H.

New instructional centre to be a hub for students at U of T Scarborough

A new building planned for the University of Toronto Scarborough will create a major student hub on the north part of the campus.

Located at the corner of Military Trail and Pan Am Drive, the Instructional Centre 2, or IC-2, will have nearly 18,500 square metres of academic space, including 21 technology-enhanced classrooms and lecture halls, labs, as well as study spaces, lounges and open seating areas for students.

Among the innovative teaching spaces is a 500-seat theatre-in-the-round auditorium where no seat is more than seven rows away from the lecture stand. Many of the other classrooms will also be flexible in their arrangement, allowing students to easily gather around tables to collaborate on class projects.

--------
The five-storey building, designed by ZAS Architects in collaboration with CEBRA Architecture, features modern glass façades to create open and inspiring spaces. The building will have a large, open atrium, a series of naturally lit lounges and meeting spaces, as well as a large green roof with two garden courtyards on the fourth floor.

--------
The environmentally friendly features of the building, located just north of the Environmental Sciences & Chemistry Building (ESCB), include a green roof and energy efficiency performance that is 40 per cent above building industry standards. It will also target LEED Gold certification.

Construction of IC-2 is scheduled to begin in early 2021, with an opening date in late 2023.

ZAS and CEBRA Unveil University of Toronto's New Student Hub

Sept 1, 2020

ZAS Architects and Denmark-based CEBRA Architecture have unveiled a new student hub at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus (UTSC). The new facility was made to be a learning landscape that promotes agile and asynchronous education through rooms and open public spaces spanning multiple floors. Artificial terrain flows from the outside in, creating a hybrid of social and study areas to support campus life.

The project includes 21 classrooms of various sizes and configurations ranging from a 500-seat auditorium to smaller 24-seat active learning environments. "We envisioned a truly flexible environment that broke down traditional pedagogies and instead, encouraged a fluid learning experience unconfined by the walls of the classroom," says Paul Stevens, Founder, and Senior Principal at ZAS Architects. "Peer-to-peer learning is emulated in all aspects of the design." Learning spaces sit on top of one another, creating opportunities for platform and bleacher seating.

On the exterior, the framed grid that forms the building’s façade creates a design that combines "various volumes, scales, surfaces and spatial qualities. Inspired by the form of Printer’s Tray predominantly used during the 19th Century, the building’s four distinct façades mirror the tray’s compartments and represent the diversity of spaces and educational environments within." The largely transparent facade is made with mullion-free structural glass panes.

Inspired by the Highland Creek ravine that weaves through the campus, the design aims to extend green space indoors. Meanwhile two rooftop gardens also merge indoor and outdoor spaces to enhance the public realm within the building’s upper levels. "Ultimately, this project is about more than classrooms. It’s about student support, both physically and mentally," says Peter Duckworth-Pilkington, Principal at ZAS Architects. ”Dedicating a state-of-the-art, central floor to student health sends a powerful message that well-being needs are not just accommodated at the University of Toronto, they are being prioritized."

Council OK's plans for new building at University of Toronto Scarborough​

5-storey project will be mix of classrooms and student space​

March 15, 2021
And on March 10, Toronto council gave the university the go-ahead to embark on a project that will see a new building — a five-storey mix of classrooms and student space that will go up on what is currently a parking lot at Military Trail and Pan Am Drive.

The project is the first of what the university hopes will be several new developments coming to council, the University of Toronto’s spokesperson Brent Duguid told the February meeting of the Scarborough community council when the proposal for 1050 Military Trail came there.

“We are certainly looking forward to one day when we can come in to community council and present a number of other projects that we have lined up,” said Duguid. “We’re not only adding to the campus, but facilities for the entire community.”

The new facility on Military Trail between Ellesmere Road and Morningside Avenue contains 14,930 square metres of space — to be divided between classroom, office, lecture halls and some retail space.

Thanks.

Odd, if you go through the 3 applications all listed there, one gives the address as 1050 Military Trail, which is the same address given for the instructional centre.

For reference:
