At Graduate House, a dorm for graduate students that also contains a restaurant on the first floor, the primary material is a dull, gray metal panel with built-in projections that give the facade a much-needed horizontality while setting up and framing the window openings. Facing Spadina Avenue, the main entry is recessed, marked by a tall, mustard yellow wall and a curtain wall, and toward Harbord Street to the south, a steel frame, covered in perforated metal with irregular openings, wraps the horizontal metal panels. Even with these features the obvious focus of the exterior is the cantilevered frame and perforated, green metal signage; a contemporary gateway to the campus.
