The Leslie L. Dan Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Toronto is one of the leading pharmacy institutions in the world, as well as the largest and oldest pharmacy school in Canada. It has offered students an education in pharmaceutical knowledge and training in pharmacy practice since 1927.
The current home of the Faculty, erected in 2006, is located at the corner of College Street and University Avenue. This award-winning architectural structure was jointly designed by the world-renowned Sir Norman Foster. Much of this endeavour was funded by Leslie Dan, the original founder of Novopharm (now Teva), the Government of Ontario, and many others.
The architects chose to go with a cutting edge design that incorporated the use of black granite, concrete, metal, glass curtains, and suspended pods (hence why it is affectionately known as Pods Building or PB). The pods, which are actually suspended lecture halls and student study lounges, are aglow with coloured lights in the night time. For this reason, we recommend coming by at night. The exterior of the building resembles a "box on top of a box" and the building itself is hollow to maximize sunlight exposure.
