Update on the Temerty Building

This fall, we began the process to select an architect for the new James and Louise Temerty Building at the University of Toronto. This state-of-the-art facility will replace the west wing of the Medical Sciences Building, and will be a spectacular new home for education and research at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine. Early in 2023, we will invite a shortlist to participate in the request-for-proposal process, then a Committee will select the teams that will design and construct our building. Groundbreaking is still some time away — likely 2025 — but these recent developments are key and exciting milestones for the project, one of the largest redevelopments of physical space our Faculty has ever undertaken.
