Frost Building

The Frost Building is a government building on the Queen's Park campus in Toronto consisting of two blocks of different heights connected by a five-story glass corridor. The south block rises seven stories while the north block has six stories, and together they form a curved structure that sits on Queen's Park Crescent East.

The building was completed in 1950 and named after Leslie Frost, who served as Premier of Ontario from 1949 for more than ten years. It was built as part of the development of Queen's Park into a modern provincial administration hub.

The building serves as a workplace for provincial government staff and forms part of the larger Queen's Park campus where hundreds of public servants work daily. The two connected blocks and glass corridor are visible features that help define the character of the surrounding government precinct.

The building offers direct tunnel access to Queen's Park subway station as well as to Whitney Block and MacDonald Block Complex for convenient travel. Visitors can use these underground connections to move efficiently between different government buildings.

The two blocks have different heights, giving the building an asymmetrical form that sets it apart from the symmetrical structures of neighboring government buildings. This deliberate design choice creates a visual contrast that reflects modern architectural thinking.
