1 Spadina Crescent, Gothic Revival university building at University of Toronto St. George Campus, Canada
The 1875 building features pointed arches, intricate stone detailing, and a prominent central tower positioned in the middle of Spadina Avenue roundabout.
Originally constructed as Knox College theological seminary, the structure later served as a military hospital during World War I where Amelia Earhart worked as a nurse's aide.
The John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design occupies this building, offering educational programs in architectural studies and urban development.
The building contains design studios, fabrication laboratories, a 400-seat lecture hall, and the Eberhard Zeidler Library with extensive architecture and design collections.
The 2017 renovation merged historical Gothic elements with modern glass and steel additions, creating spaces for digital manufacturing and experimental design galleries.
