The brutalist
Andrews Building, with its science and
humanities wings, is the iconic UTSC structure. But the first official
home for
Scarborough College, as UTSC was called back in 1965, was an unused
biology
building on the St. George campus.
Ground was
broken here in Scarborough in May of 1964, with
ambitious plans to be finished by fall semester of the next year. But
as it
became apparent that the deadline would be missed, officials scouted
for a
temporary home. They found it in the old biology building on St. George
Street,
which had just been vacated with the completion of the new zoology
building.
The first
full-time courses in the building drew 191
students. Another 444 enrolled in evening extension courses. They were
taught
by 42 faculty.
By November,
the Andrews building was ready. The college
moved, east and classes began in January of 1966. As for the beautiful
biology
building downtown, it was demolished shortly thereafter to make way for
the
current Medical Sciences Building.

When this professor isn't going on
long walks with his two dogs, a
Border Collie-Labrador mix and a Husky-Rottweiler mix, he can be found
jamming with his four-piece classic rock band.

In
addition to lead guitar and
vocals, he can also slap a mean bass.
He recently
became a grandfather and when not teaching or
indulging in one of his hobbies enjoys a relaxing spin on his Ducati
motorcycle.
If this
strict vegetarian could be in any profession other
than a university professor he would be a music producer.
The first
person to respond to the editor
with the
correct answer will win a $10 Tim Horton's gift card.
