Toronto Lincoln Alexander School of Law (277 Victoria St/38 Dundas St E Renovation) TMU

[DSCToronto]

BlogTO has a history of this building today. They say its future is 'uncertain' - I think it is certainly on the verge of demolition - see above. https://www.blogto.com/city/2023/03/38-40-dundas-street-east-toronto/

Removing 38 Dundas and replacing it with a plaza abutting TMU’s proposed use would provide for more pedestrian comfort than the desperately little that location currently affords. I would leave it to those more versed than I in these matters as to whether some manner of commemorative marker in respect of Ryerson’s involvement in residential schools for indigenous people would be appropriate there, or whether this is already the case elsewhere on the campus.

Interesting.............

So they intend to retain the current structure, but extensively renovate..........

To achieve this:

I don't see how they can avoid a reclad, at least of the lower levels, and some pretty extensive re-working of the main and second floors.

A reclad with the sam's record sign integrated better would be really nice

I agree that the Sam's Sign deserves a better fate; I'm not sure I see it logically as part of the Faculty of Law building...........this building..........

That's always been the problem, de-contextualization.

Truthfully, 10 Dundas/Tenor would do well to pick up the the sign as classic Iconic, signage that fits their motif, I think it would drive eyeballs to the paying Advertising if they did it right.

Bye, bye Harry!

I can't remember a time when that building wasn't abandoned. Wasn't there a plan to save it?

It was a Hakim Optical until they moved across the street in 2010.

You can still see it as Hakim in Streetview...

And now they aren’t even across the street anymore.

No pictures, but I saw moving trucks getting filled presumably with furniture from TPH, could look like TMU will be occupying relatively soon

P.S. Sorry for the bump
