Convocation Hall, University of Toronto, Heritage auditorium at University of Toronto St. George Campus, Canada

The circular auditorium features a copper-clad dome, limestone details, and buff brick walls surrounding a central gathering space for 1731 attendees.

Darling and Pearson architectural firm completed this Beaux-Arts style building in 1907, funded by alumni donations and Ontario government matching contributions.

The hall maintains traditions through graduation ceremonies, incorporating Indigenous elements like beaded stoles to represent cultural heritage during convocation events.

Beyond graduation ceremonies, the venue accommodates large academic lectures, concerts, social functions, and public addresses throughout the academic calendar.

Natural light streams through a glass oculus at the center of the dome, illuminating the radially arranged seating pattern beneath structural ribs.
