University of Toronto Mississauga

The University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM), also known as U of T Mississauga, is one of the three campuses that make up the tri-campus system of the University of Toronto. Located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, the campus opened in 1967 as Erindale College, set upon the valley of the Credit River, approximately 33 km west of Downtown Toronto. It is the second-largest of the three University of Toronto campuses, the other two of which are the St. George campus in Downtown Toronto and the U of T Scarborough campus in Scarborough, Ontario. History The site of the Mississauga campus is the former estate of Reginald Watkins, which was acquired by the University of Toronto in 1963. Founded as Erindale College in 1965, construction of the University's main building began in 1966. Although this building was originally meant to be temporary, the building remained until 2016 as part of the North Building. In 1998, Erindale College was rebranded as University of Toronto Mississauga. In 2007, UTM celebrated its 40th anniversary, a milestone which was capped off with the grand opening of the Hazel McCallion Academic Learning Centre on June 2, 2007. In 2017, UTM celebrated its 50th anniversary, a milestone that coincided with Canada's sesquicentennial. The campus is used as the location of Godolkin University in the Amazon Series Gen V.
