\n Tory Building\n <\/h1>\n \n <\/header>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

The Tory building was the first building on campus. It was named after the first President of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ College, Henry Marshall Tory. The building has been renovated three times since Leslie Frost, then premier of Ontario, first laid its corner stone in 1957.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only the mural in the central lecture hall, commonly known as \u201cThe Egg\u201d, has remained unaltered. J. Harold Shenkman, a local entrepreneur, commissioned Gerald Trottier to create the piece. The Ottawa artist wanted the mural to depict humanity\u2019s quest for knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
