U of T reaches agreement to acquire Knox College building

The University of Toronto has announced that it has reached an agreement that will allow it to acquire Knox College’s properties located on St George Street in Toronto, ON. U of T will purchase Knox College and the MacDonald-Mowat House for $45M, and will lease back the east wing of Knox College to Knox to allow the theological school to continue its operation. The property is seen as a strategic acquisition as it is one of the last missing pieces of the St George campus. “The agreement to acquire the Knox College building is a truly momentous occasion for the University of Toronto,” said U of T VP, operations and real estate partnerships Scott Mabury. “It has been a beloved part of the St. George campus for over a century – with the grandeur of Front Campus owing much to the property.” U of T Note: Archived stories may contain dead links or be missing source links.
