Toronto Ryerson: Jarvis Street Residence | 97.53m | 30s | Toronto Metropolitan University | Arcadis

[Gotzvon]

Is that how they came up with the name Jarvis?

In case anyone`s actually curious, the street is in fact named after Samuel Jarvis, the last guy in Toronto to legally kill someone in a duel, and the street was created from part of a lot Jarvis was forced to hand over to the government as repayment for stealing and embezzling money. Sounds like a fun dude.

^^^A pretty awful collection of buildings, if you ask me. Old and new.

False. Please be correct next time. Thanks.

Well then, I guess that is the final word on that.

I am laughing at the not impossible outcome that a university residence may turn out better than PACE condos.

Ryerson is considered a university in Toronto?

Ryerson is considered a university in Toronto?

what? yes. It's been a university for 25 years. It's not Ivey League, but it doesn't mean it's not a university. Its business incubator is considered the best in the country.

In the continent.

Are we sure those brick sections are precast? Usually the presence of the staging platform for bricklayers means that what they're applying is the genuine article.

Nice it'll add a swath of colour from the east...already becoming visible from Riverdale Park.

I believe that's the Massey crane behind it.

From the NW corner...

Way too many glazing styles on one project, if you ask me. Pick your few motifs and stick to them across the building. It's like they didn't know when to stop designing here.
