Perhaps the Standard Triple is for a couple ( they fight over gets the small room ) and their single friend? Or maybe the small room is for a Lady of the Bedchamber type live-in servant?

Oh. My. God.
Someone needs to be publicly shamed and then shot. Seriously.
Please tell me that Ryerson is in NO WAY involved in this monstrosity.
I will upload some pics taken today asap.

I can see it rising from my balcony and must agree that it's atrocious from this vantage point.

I'll gladly tell you that Ryerson is not involved in this monstrosity. It's private, an affilate of Tridel, as a matter of fact.

Thank goodness. It's quite funny though that this hideous beast is located within a 10 second walk of the Architecture building. I'm imagining profs taking their students outside and explaining what not to do... ever.
^ Though they should take a good hard look at their own building first.

Exactly... I wanted to say the same thing but was worried I'd find out that it was something of architectural importance like the U of T residence with that stupid sign sticking out over the street.

BEHOLD!!! The Spectacularily Craptacular!
And lucky for everyone it looks like they're putting the finishing touches on this jewel!
God help us all.

The other Star Of Downtown.
Actually, 'The Star Of Downtown' might look like The Palace Pier compared to this. It's enough to give colour a bad name.

Let me guess what we are seeing: someone went to a leftover sale for building materials?

I'm concerned tourists who stumble upon this unfortunate intersection will suddenly think they've somehow been transported to some crumbling downtown centre in a developing country.

A bit of an Alsop trickle-down effect (and trickling *really* far down).
Oh, re the present Architecture building: best to describe it as "neutral". Really reflects that moment in Ryerson's existence when it didn't know whether it wasn't to be more universityish or vocational-trade-schoolish. Incredible to think it's by Ron Thom (though very late, and bread-and-butterish)--if you squint your eyes, its stripped-downness has some artful kinship to the Diamond/Myers mode of urban building; but boy, it's stripped-down, indeed...
