Ryerson University (Ryerson or RyeU) is a public research university in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Its urban campus surrounds the Yonge–Dundas Square, located at one of the busiest intersections in downtown Toronto.

The majority of its buildings are in the blocks northeast of the Yonge–Dundas Square in Toronto's Garden District. Ryerson's business school, Ted Rogers School of Management, is on the southwest end of the Yonge–Dundas Square, located on Bay Street, slightly north of Toronto's Financial District and is attached to the Toronto Eaton Centre. The university has expanded substantially in recent years with new buildings such as the Mattamy Athletic Centre, in the historical Maple Leaf Gardens arena, former home of the Toronto Maple Leafs.[6] The university's administration services are also housed in 1 Dundas and 495 Yonge Street. The university is composed of 44,400 undergraduate students, 2,950 graduate students, and 12,000 continuing-education students.[4][7] Ryerson is ranked 4th in Ontario and 10th in Canada by student enrolment.[8]

Ryerson University is home to Canada's largest undergraduate business school, the Ted Rogers School of Management,[9] and Canada's third largest undergraduate engineering school, the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science, as well as the Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Communication & Design, Faculty of Community Services, and the Faculty of Science.

In 2017, the university was approved by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada to begin working towards establishing a social justice and innovation focused law school.[10] The school will mark the third law school in Toronto after York's Osgoode program and University of Toronto's Law degree.

In addition to offering full-time and part-time undergraduate and graduate programs leading to Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral degrees, the university also offers part-time degrees, distance education, and certificates through the G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education.[11]

History[edit]

During the Second World War, Howard Hillen Kerr, the director of the Training and Re-Establishment Institute, and other members of the Toronto Board of Education saw a need for provide specialized institutes that would provide educational and vocational training for specific jobs for returning veterans.[12] The idea to create an institution that spanned "the gap" between secondary education and universities was the result of a trip undertaken by Kerr to Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1943; with Kerr envisioning a similar institute established in Canada.[13] Kerr's effort to establish an institute of this nature led to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to pass the Vocational Education Act, leading to the creation of vocational schools and technological institutes.[13] Although several new institutes were planned during the war, their establishment was delayed by the advent of the Cold War and the potential need to remobilize.[14] However, with the prospect of war diminished greatly by 1948, the decision was made to open the Ryerson Institute of Technology; with class catalogues hastily issued in August 1948.[14]

The school was named the school after Egerton Ryerson; who established the Toronto Normal School in 1847 on the future site of the Ryerson Institute of Technology.[13] In addition to establishing the normal school, Ryerson helped develop education in Canada West as the region's chief superintendent of education, creating a model for publicly-funding the training of teachers, and helping to draft Canada West's Education Act, 1846.[13] The site of the normal school eventually developed into several buildings used by the Ontario Agricultural College, and the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, and a training centre for the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War.[13] During the war, Kerr was also the site's director prior to becoming the director of the Training and Re-Establishment Institute.[13]

The Ryerson Instute of Technology was officially opened on 16 September 1948;[15] with approximately 250 students enrolled at the institution in its first year of operation.[16] Kerr served as Ryerson's first principal.[13] He held the office as principal until 1966, when he became the head of the Council of Regents for Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology, helping to establish a number of other colleges in Ontario modelled after Ryerson.[13] The initial aim for the institute to serve as a career training and vocational school was reflected by its early enrolment, with the majority of its early students being enrolled in continuing education part-time night school programs, as opposed to a full-year academic stream.[14] Initially the institute only offered two-year career training and vocational programs, although its program catalogue was later expanded to include three-year diplomas by the early 1950s.[15] In an effort to also create an "educated base of citizens," Kerr mandated that English, physical education, and history be mandated in the school's curriculum in 1952.[14]

Initially, plans were made to house the institute entirely within the Toronto Normal School building, although rapid growth in student body population made such plans impossible. In order to accommodate the growing student body, work on the first building built specifically for the institute began in 1958; and was completed in 1963.[17] However, the completion of Kerr Hall resulted in the destruction of several buildings, including temporary barracks used during the Second World War;[18] and Toronto Normal School building excluding its portico façade.[19] A number of other buildings were later built surrounding the courtyard.[19]

In 1964, the province amended the institution's governing legislation to provide it with their own board of governors, and changed the name of the school to Ryerson Polytechnical Institute.[15][20] In the same year, the nursing programs of three hospitals was transferred to Ryerson, with a nursing program established there. The nursing program was the first one to be offered in a post-secondary institution in Canada.[note 1][20][21] In 1971, the institute was granted degree-granting powers from Ontario's legislative assembly.[22]

In 1993, the was recognized as a full-fledged polytechnic university by the government of Ontario and renamed Ryerson Polytechnic University; expanding the mandate of the institution to include scholarly research, and graduate programs.[22] The university's school of graduate studies was formally established in 1997.[15] In June 2002, the institution shortened its name to Ryerson University in order to reflect its status as a full-fledged university.[16] The beginning of the 21st century saw another construction boom on its campus.[15]

After the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its report in May 2015, the university acted on several recommendations made out to post-secondary institutions in the report.[23] As a result of Egerton Ryerson association with the establishment of the Canadian Indian residential school system, the institution faced several calls to reevaluate the namesake of the university in 2017.[24][25] In 2018, Ryerson faculty member, Denise O'Neil Green, led the community-wide consultation to formulate a response towards the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's report.[23] She was later appointed the university's first vice-president for equity and community inclusion; the first vice-president position with this mandate in a Canadian post-secondary institution.[26][27] In 2018, a plaque that describes Egerton Ryerson's role in the residential school system was placed next to a university's statue of Egerton.[23]

Campus[edit]

Ryerson Square[edit]

Ryerson's central hub is a pedestrian area that runs along Gould and Victoria Streets, known as Ryerson Square.[28]

In 1978 the public lane known as Victoria Street extending south from Gould was closed to vehicle traffic.[29] The southeasterly corner of at this intersection was a parking lot.[30] This space now forms part of Devonian Square and features a reflecting pond used as a skating rink in the winter.[31][32] Devonian Square is owned by Ryerson but is maintained by the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation. The park was designed in 1978 by Toronto landscape architecture firm Richard Strong, Steven Moorhead Ltd. Design and construction of the square was partially funded by the Devonian Group of Charitable Foundations of Calgary — lending the park its name. The space features huge Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks that are approximately two billion years old. These were trucked in from the Canadian Shield.[33]

Wanting to expand the pedestrian area, the Ryerson Students' Union (RSU) campaigned for years to close off traffic from Gould Street. In 2010 a one-year pilot program was approved which was later extended by six months.[34] On February 6, 2012, Toronto City Council voted to permanently close the street to car traffic, from O'Keefe Lane to Bond Street.[35] The space was official renamed Ryerson Square. It features seating areas, potted plants and is used for a weekly farmers market, student group sign-up days and festivities associated with Ryerson's week of welcome.[36][37]

Campus expansion[edit]

Student Learning Centre, from Yonge Street

In 2006, the university announced a large campus expansion, with the creation of a University Master Plan.[38][39] Over the next 10 years, the university expanded substantially, opening several new buildings including the Student Learning Centre,[40] a new student athletic centre at Maple Leaf Gardens,[6] and a new student residence.[41]

In 2008, three properties on Yonge Street, including the former Sam the Record Man store, were acquired to allow the university to construct a Student Learning Centre.[40][42] Opening in 2015, this Snøhetta designed building provides students a space to study and collaborate - as well as giving Ryerson a face on Yonge Street.[43]

In 2012, the university announced a collaboration with a private developer to build a new student residence on Jarvis St.[41] Opening in 2018, the new HOEM residence will increase the number of student residence spaces at the university by 30%.[44]

As of fall 2017, Ryerson's next major development, the Daphne Cockwell Health Sciences Complex, is under construction on Church St north of Dundas St East. When complete in Fall 2018, the 29 storey complex will mix academic space, administrative offices, and 18 storeys of accommodation for 332 students.[45]

In 2013, Ryerson acquired two parking lots from Infrastructure Ontario for $32 million to meet future growth. The properties are a 5,400 m2 (58,000 sq ft) lot at 202 Jarvis Street (at Dundas Street) and a 750 m2 (8,100 sq ft) plot at 136 Dundas Street East (and Mutual Street). The two sites will continue as parking lots until the university raises capital funding.[46] In 2019, Ryerson submitted a rezoning application for a 41-storey tower at 202 Jarvis Street, which will include an 11-storey academic base with classrooms, labs, and research space intended for the Faculty of Science, along with a student residence.[47][48]

In 2018, it was announced that in 2022 Ryerson would open a new campus in Brampton, Ontario in partnership with Sheridan College. The new campus would focus on delivering programs in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM).[49][50][51][52] In April 2018, funding of $90 million was offered by the provincial government for the project.[53][54] On 23 October 2018 however, the new Provincial government (elected in June) withdrew the funding for plans such as this, effectively cancelling the project.[55]

Mattamy Athletic Centre[edit]

Main article: Maple Leaf Gardens

University President Sheldon Levy announced December 1, 2009, that the school would acquire and renovate the Maple Leaf Gardens for use as a university athletic facility, at an estimated cost of $60 million. The cost was split three ways between the Canadian federal government, Ryerson University, and Loblaws.[6][56] Known as the Mattamy Athletic Centre, the facility includes sports venues and classrooms on upper levels. The street and lower levels feature a Loblaws supermarket, a Joe Fresh store, an LCBO store, and parking. Ryerson and Loblaws each own their space.[57]

The Mattamy Athletic Centre (commonly known as the "MAC") has full size basketball and volleyball courts, the Mattamy Home Ice (NHL sized skating rink), a cardio room, fitness centre with dumbbells and additional fitness machines.[58]

Library[edit]

Main article: Ryerson University Library

The Ryerson Library collection consists of over 500,000 books, 3,700 print journal titles and over $2 million of electronic resources, including approximately 23,000 e-journals, approximately over 90,000 e-books, databases and indexes, geospatial data, and catalogued websites or electronic documents. Most of the electronic resources can be accessed remotely by Ryerson community members with internet access, although authentication of Ryerson Library registration is required for access to all commercial resources. The library acquires materials to support the curriculum taught at the university and to support the research needs of faculty. All hard copy materials are housed in the library building at Gould and Victoria Streets.

The 11-storey tower was built in 1974, and is a classic example of Brutalist architecture. The library buildings also hold an administrative office, the Nursing Collaborative, and, until 2007, the urban and Regional Planning program, when it moved to another facility increasing available space for the library additional.

As part of the Ryerson University Master Plan, the library is expected to either relocate or undergo extensive renovations in the next several years. To improve study space, the entire fourth floor of the library underwent construction during the 2008 academic year. The renovation included the addition of lounges, a graduate reading room, and LCD panels.[59] The second floor of the library is connected via bridge to the Student Learning Centre which opened in early 2015.[60]
