Hanging Lecture Halls

Recently I had the chance to visit one of the new construction projects at the University of Toronto for work. They had a new building, the Leslie Dan Pharmacy building that had an interesting concept - lecture halls 'suspended' from inside the building's atrium.


The 'hanging' lecture halls.


Entrance to one such 'hall'.


Inside a lecture hall.


The upper deck of the 'hall'.


Do you know why there are raised grooves here? It's to prevent skateboarders from plying their trade on the name stone.


The nearby students' office, with the roof's dome retouched for the World Cup.
