Ryerson’s campus is a work in progress. Since the school’s inception in 1948, it has been slowly increasing its footprint in the downtown core through acquisition, demolition, renovation, and original construction. From the original Department of Education Buildings the campus has pushed East to Jarvis Street, South to Dundas Street, West to Yonge Street with the new Student Learning Centre, and further West with the Ted Rogers School of Management at Bay and Dundas Streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following photographs are highlights from the new Archives and Special Collections exhibit documenting Ryerson’s 66 year evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
