Definitely the best UofA shot ever posted on here. It looks like it could be a fairly major city downtown of its own, or at least a major suburb.

That's an old photo as well, a couple of buildings currently under construction are missing.

Surprised we don't have a University thread. If no one starts it up, I just might later this week. For now, the Carleton University skyline (with downtown on the top right) 5-10 years ago:

And the University of Ottawa skyline, probably two summers ago, since I can't see the portal construction for the Confederation Line. Scroll to the right:

I'm excited to see some new projects go up in Hamilton. It has to be the most depressing skyline in Canada right now, a few new buildings will go a long way!
