The University of Toronto Mississauga Library, part of the University of Toronto Libraries system, is the campus library of the University of Toronto Mississauga. The library is located within the Hazel McCallion Academic Learning Centre, named to honor City of Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion. The facility houses the library, the Robert Gillespie Academic Skills Centre, a Library Café, a digital environment, a classroom, an adaptive technology centre, a finance learning centre, and the campus’ academic skills centre. History The library began as the Erindale College Library began when the University of Toronto’s Erindale College was created in 1967. Initially, it was a small, mainly undergraduate library located in the campus’ North Building. In 1972, it moved to a facility in the South Building (renamed the William G. Davis Building in 2009-10), becoming a full service campus library. Early in 2000, the Erindale College Library was renamed the University of Toronto Mississauga Library. In 2004, construction began on a new , $34-million library building project—the Hazel McCallion Academic Learning Centre. The new facility increased study space by 85 per cent, and better accommodated the campus’ growing student population than its predecessor, which was built for a student population half the size. The Hazel McCallion Academic Learning Centre opened for student use in October 2006. Collections The library has a collection of print, electronic and networked resources in a wired and wireless environment. Its permanent collection comprises more than 400,000 volumes. Facility Designed by Shore Tilbe Irwin & Partners (now Perkins + Will Toronto), the library facility represents a ‘new breed’ of libraries referred to as ‘Academic Learning Centres' focused more on learning or ‘people’ space over space for collections and interested in engaging users in its teaching and learning mission. The Hazel McCallion Academic Learning Centre features high density mobile compact shelving that houses the library’s permanent collection as well as generous perimeter space for quiet study and collaborative learning, all with views to the surrounding campus and natural landscape. The building was the first at the University of Toronto to receive a silver LEEDs rating (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). The design was inspired by the metaphor of a Japanese puzzle box. The library is divided into Learning Zones: Quiet Conversation Zones where students are encouraged to work together on their academic projects, Silent Study Zones to provide environments for deep thinking and reflection, as well as Conversation- and
