Strange but there's a very post-apocalyptic like quality that I enjoy about the current state of this structure.

There is more in the works for this site than just an auditorium… but I'm not sure what yet.

It would be a good place for a hotel, with all those hospitals so close by.

16 March 2013: I bet the intention is to build a giant student rental building here.

Makes sense though. The university needs more residence space and this is a location that can allow decent height.

12 May 2013: Is this the year they announce a 50s student residence for this site?

A lot of the building is still there.

Thanks Plyta, you read my mind. I was going to try and go through the thread to determine how much has been demolished and you provided a comparison in seconds, I appreciate it.

5 months to take down half the building puts them at almost the end of the year just to demolish this thing...

Still no plans popped up? Development signs? Nothing? Surely it isn't truly only going to be a couple story building in such a prime location.... is it?

I believe this site will (in the long term) evolve into a research tower for TGH so that they are less reliant on leasing space from MaRS.

They must be using hammers and chisels on this project, as it taking them donkey ages to tear it down

I believe they built the mound hoping to avoid bringing over that huge crane.
