Sir Wilfred Grenfell Campus of the Memorial University of Newfoundland - Corner Brook

Grenfell is Memorial's second campus on the west coast of the island. It offers full programs in some fields but, if I understand correctly, for the most part, it serves as place where students from the centre-west of the island can complete their general studies ahead of moving to St. John's to get into the meat of their degrees.

It has (locally) renowned visual arts and environmental sciences programming.

This is easily one of the coolest University campuses ever. Even better at street level. Antigonish is a charming little town, my fave in eastern NS.

Interesting (and recent) aerial photograph of the Mount Allison University campus in Sackville NB.

And while I'm at it, here's a couple of aerial photos of my original alma mater, UPEI.





I got my B.Sc here, but spent more time (nine years) at Dalhousie University.

sort of..
Canada's only Canadian Light Source National Centre for Synchrotron Research on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River on the U of S campus.

Touted as Canada's largest science project and built in the early 2000's at a cost of >$300million over 3 phases, it is one of the brightest in the world & competitive with the others in North America, Japan & Europe.

Containing an Electron Gun, Linear Accelerator, Booster & Storage rings and Beam lines, Electrons are excelerated to 99.999998% the speed of light to produce synchrotron light beams a million times brighter than sunlight & magnetically bent to different spectrums to conduct experiments.

who would ever have thought, Saskatoon as literally Canada's brightest spot

SFU (Burnaby) is so flat it's not easy to find a good skyline photo:

UofT

University of Manitoba. It was built in what are now Winnipeg's southern suburbs long before the city ever grew to its present size... back then it was in the middle of farm fields.



Inner campus:



It is a somewhat decentralized faculty...the health sciences faculties (med, dentistry, etc.) are located on a different campus close to downtown, and a number of the agriculture facilities are located south of town.

The University of Saskatchewan does look good at street level.

Best aerial of St. FX ever. For me St. FX, Acadia, Bishops, and Mt. Allison are perfect. They're all in tiny college towns and have that old money feel to them.

How can large legacy institutions reach this point without loud prior warning bells going off?

Every institution can face financial pressures, but geez, we only hear about how truly bad it is when it's close to shutting down?

McGill, Concordia and Bishops will be next as enrollment collapses.
