Today, it is difficult to
visually identify with the original
design concept. However, here and there one can find examples of
aesthetic success: The amphitheatre and residences'
mall termination in the Stormont-Dundas courtyard. There are, it is
known, new opportunities, such as the redesign of
Alumni Park with focus on a renewed fountain and links to the river,
and future proposals for infill construction
projects that will, hopefully, rigorously reinforce remaining
topographical features.

It was once said that the campus plan was designed
by a committee, for a committee.
Perhaps a new plan is in order - a plan that will recapture the
thrilling vision of the original; a
plan based upon principles, without conjecture; and a plan that will
be guided by a "committee of the whole".
