Yorkville Plaza
Yorkville Plaza

Yorkville Plaza is a 31-storey condominium tower and former hotel in Toronto. The hotel was developed by Ian Richard Wookey, who purchased the Yorkville property in 1966 and hired architects Webb Zerafa Menkès to design the building, which was named the Continental Plaza provisionally. Shortly before construction began in the fall of 1969, Wookey sold the project to a partnership of Hyatt and Great West International Equities, the latter of which was taken over in 1971 by Trizec. In the spring of 1972, the hotel opened as the Hyatt Regency. The hotel was, after York Square, the second building project planned by Wookey in Yorkville and played a major part in his renewal programme for the neighbourhood. Wookey would partner with Webb Zerafa Menkès again in the 1970s to build Cumberland Court and Hazelton Lanes, thus solidifying the architects' role in defining the character of Yorkville. The hotel became a focal point of Toronto society and hosted dignitaries and celebrities frequently. Additionally, the building became one of the city's iconic works of brutalist architecture. The Hyatt Regency operated from 1972 until 1978, when Four Seasons purchased the management rights. Subsequently, Four Seasons ran the hotel until it closed in 2012. In 2011, the building had been purchased by Camrost-Felcorp, led by developer David Feldman. After the closure, the new owners gutted the hotel and converted it to condominiums. As part of the conversion, new buildings were constructed to the east and south of the hotel in place of the former ballrooms. The new complex of condominiums was named Yorkville Plaza.

Centre for Medieval Studies, Toronto
Centre for Medieval Studies, Toronto

The Centre for Medieval Studies (CMS) is a research centre at the University of Toronto in Canada dedicated to the history, thought, and artistic expression of the cultures that flourished during the Middle Ages. The centre was founded as an extra-departmental unit (EDU) of the Faculty of Arts and Science in 1964, with Bertie Wilkinson as its first director. Its foundation was announced in the journal Speculum: The intention of the Center is to make available to students various approaches to the Middle Ages in programs of studies not available in existing departments. The purpose of the Center is the training of scholars who know the Middle Ages in depth as well as in breadth. The courses of study will freely cross limits of traditional disciplines and departments, but they will be limited to the Middle Ages. By concentrating on a single period, the student will be able to acquire in some depth the basic linguistic and technical skills necessary for teaching and research in mediaeval studies; these include palaeography, diplomatics, and vernacular languages, in which the Center is strong. He will also be able to read widely in the period. His research will follow the material of his subject in order to gain a better understanding of the cross currents and variations in the cultures, interests, and beliefs of the Middle Ages. The centre had originated in a Medieval Club that met at Hart House. It was inspired by the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies (PIMS), which had been founded in 1929 by Étienne Gilson. In turn, it was one of the inspirations for the University of Leeds Graduate Centre for Medieval Studies. The Centre's logo was designed by Allan Fleming, while he was head of graphic design at University of Toronto Press, from 1968–1976. The Centre is now located in the Lillian Massey Building, part of Victoria University, Toronto.
