Robarts Common | Blackwell Structural Engineers

Program

Addressing the University of Toronto’s growing need for more study space, the new Robarts Common addition introduces a 50,000 square foot building dedicated entirely to solo and group work environments. The new library design adds 1,200 study spaces over four floors in a variety of configurations, all enclosed in a five-storey steel glass envelope that brings a new spirit of transparency and openness to Canada’s preeminent academic research library. Completed in October of 2021, the facility was designed by Diamond Schmitt Architects.
