Sir Daniel Wilson at UC
The Sir Daniel Wilson Hall residence building is named after Sir Daniel Wilson. Wilson was a professor of History and English. He served as the president of University College from 1880 to 1892, and later president of the University of Toronto from 1889 to 1892.
The residence was originally located in the cloisters, or the west wing, of the main college building. In the 1880s, the west wing was converted to offices and classrooms. A new residence wasn’t built until 1954. At that time, it remained a men’s residence until 1980, when it became co-ed.
Today, the Sir Daniel Wilson residence is home to 200 students who primarily live in single rooms.
