U of T’s Bold Move on Student Housing | Toronto News

U of T is building a 49-story student housing tower on College Street, partnering with Tricon Living to slash housing costs from $300K per bed to a fraction — all without upfront university cash. The LEED Gold-certified complex will offer over 1,200 beds at St. George, featuring green roofs and geothermal heating, while also generating income to reinvest in campus. This marks the latest in U of T’s bold strategy to tackle a critical shortage: only 10% of its 100,000+ students live on campus, forcing many into expensive private rentals — and research shows residence life boosts academic performance.
