New Ryerson University Student Residence, 186-188 Jarvis Street, Toronto, 23 storeys

• The new student residence will be located at 186 & 188 Jarvis Street (west side of Jarvis between Queen and Dundas)
• The proposed building is 23 storeys, providing 500+ spaces for Ryerson students
• The addition of 500+ spaces increases Ryerson’s total residence spaces by 30%
• Initial building design includes a two-storey podium at grade offering a mix of services such as cafes, retail and service outlets
• Construction is slated to begin in 2014. The residence is expected to open in September, 2016
• Ryerson is ultimately aiming to increase its residence capacity by 2,000 spots by 2020, meaning the university will likely need to build at least two more buildings.

Well it's better then the last res to go up in the area.

Indeed pretty good.

Not bad at all. Hopefully they use good materials.

Another parking lot bites the dust. :banana:

Is it going to be a solid concrete wall on the left face?

Looks like black brick.

I like how the balconies alternate so that every 3 floors the "balcony" is completely enclosed.

Ryerson University's new student residence will be 27 storeys if approved — five storeys taller than suggested back in February.

The updated plans reflect a new 27-storey tower to be situated at 186 and 188 Jarvis Street, with room for 197 student units (with varying numbers of beds).

If all goes to plan, the new residence will open by September 2016

wrong thread:(

Oops, that's the Student Learning Centre. The building on Jarvis hasn't begun excavation yet.

I think they should take out the diagonal lines.
That building looks OK... except for those lines which make the building belong to no where.
