Convocation
Hall, University of Toronto |
Located on King's
College Circle, Convocation Hall was designed by architects Darling and Pearson and was
completed in 1906. Frank Darling was by then a veteran Toronto architect, having designed,
among other buildings, the Victoria Hospital for Sick Children, and Holwood, the grand
residence of businessman/philanthropist Sir Joseph Flavelle, now home to the faculty of
law. Convocation Hall was modelled on the Sorbonne theatre in Paris. Apart from its
function as a venue for university graduations, over the years Convocation Hall has been
used for musical events, meetings and rallys, teach-ins, and as a lecture hall for
Psychology 101.
