Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (550 University, new 13s tower, Murphy Hilgers)

i'll be the first to demand aesthetic excellence in this city but when it comes to projects like this, mount sinai, toronto western, li ka shing, etc,etc,...i think practicality, functionalism and the social welfare goals must always remain the first priority and concern. i'm just happy toronto is experiencing such a surge in health related infrastructure.

I walked by there the other day in the rain. It looks great, sadly too busy these days to bother posting photos.

Many thanks for the update! This is indeed a nice addition, and makes a wonderful northern bookend to Simcoe St.

Very nice. My photo turned out fuzzy when I was around here last week. A pity Mt Sinai didn't hire quality architects for their tacky addition....

Now, only if they could renew the front facade like they did with this expansion.

This one has flown below the radar and spent most of this year trying to find time to get shots of it.

Yes it is new. They did a great job matching the existing building bricks to have people make comments like you did ;-)

The Hospital for Incurables is looking fine! I'm glad they matched the looks: so many hospitals grow in phases, and end up as architectural teratomas.

Great project. Nicely detailed. Thanks for the pics, drum118.
