Abstract

Description

Aerial photo of the University of Toledo Campus with the Ottawa River in the middle, 1963 [photo identifier: BVG-2DD-28]. By 1963, the Ottawa River had been channelized through the UT campus to allowed for more development and flood control. Most of the forest cover was cleared on campus in the process as denoted by the large amounts of bare dirt visible. Constructed during the past six years include : The Old Student Union Building (1959), The Engineering - Science Building (1960), and the new MacKinnon Hall (1963). The newly created land between the river and football field was ideally suited for a practice field and a running track. The farm fields in the Southwest corner have been converted into a strip mall and a large parking lot. [Details by M. Edwards]
