In addition, a basement energy plant is designed to help the university meet its 2050 climate goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Upon completion, the Temerty Building will form a crossroads for the wider university community and, for the first time in 50 years, open up to the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full article at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1040922\/mvrdv-diamond-schmitt-and-two-row-architect-reveal-design-for-the-temerty-building-at-the-university-of-toronto\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ArchDaily<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 28, 2026 The University of Toronto\u2019s Temerty Building is featured in ArchDaily.
