What's especially boggling is there's a good 12-15 feet around the pool and the hot tub. Surely they could have made them a tad larger.

I am fairly sure it's Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular & Biomolecular Research (160 College St)

Yep, the TDCCBR. One of the best buildings in the city.

What taking so long to them to cap those beams black on the south side of the building in the photos up above ? Is there a problem in that area I'm just wondering ?

Has massive building operations and energy performance issues, but architecturally yes. For all its green aspirations, its apparently one of the least efficient buildings on U of T campus.
