Toronto, ON - Today, the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design celebrated the official opening of its new home - the Daniels Building - at historic One Spadina Crescent. Located on the western edge of the University of Toronto's St. George campus just north of College Street, the iconic neo-gothic building and stunning contemporary addition, currently nearing completion, is now poised to become an international focal point for education, research, and outreach on architecture, art, and the future of cities. University of Toronto President, Professor Meric Gertler ; Dean of the Daniels Faculty, Professor Richard Sommer; and Chair of the Governing Council at the University of Toronto, Claire Kennedy welcomed donors, alumni, faculty, students, and other esteemed guests to commemorate the Daniels Faculty's new home - which the Globe and Mail 's architecture critic has called "one of the best buildings in Canada of the past decade" - with an official ribbon cutting ceremony and reception. Referring to Canadian and international reviews of the building, President Gertler said, "This global standing ovation for the Daniels Building is contributing to U of T's reputation as a world-leading centre for the study of architecture, landscape architecture, and design; as one of the world's greatest universities, and as a city-building institution of the first rank.
