Campus

The UTSC campus is dominated by three main structures, which are all inter-connected. They are called the Humanities Wing, the Science Wing and the Bladen Wing, though in reality classes are not truly segregated so much. This will change further as the university continues its expansion program; the Academic Resource Centre as well as new residence, Joan Foley Hall opened in 2003, and the Student Centre and a building dedicated to the Management Program opened in 2004. The newest building on the campus, the Arts & Administrative building, opened on October 7, 2005, which now also functions as the main welcome area to the campus. A number of other additions and upgrades were recently completed, such as a new gallery, updated athletic facilities including a new cardio room, new LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Queer) lounge and numerous other study spaces and lecture halls.

The student centre and Bluff's restaurant are also owned and operated by the SCSU.

Other on campus organizations supported by the fees include: the Scarborough Campus Athletic Association (SCAA), the student newspaper The Underground, the Student Residence Council (Residence Students only) and Fusion Radio. This latter organization hosts many events on campus including various shows and broadcasts. As with most other universities, there are a number of different student groups and clubs representing various interests, religions or groups. The approximate number of these groups is around 100.
