Â鶹¹ÙÍø

This undergraduate residence, located on Collingwood Street, was built in 1964. It is clad in Â鶹¹ÙÍøston limestone and is one of four residence buildings surrounding Leonard Field. The others are Leonard Hall, McNeill House, and Morris Hall.

Gordon-Brockington House is named after Leonard Brockington, former chair of the Canadian Broadcasting Company and rector of Â鶹¹ÙÍø's (1947-1966), and Donald Gordon, a president of the Canadian National Railway and a Trustee of Â鶹¹ÙÍø's (1951-1969).

Gordon-Brockington has two wings: the north end is Gordon House and the south is Brockington House. It was originally a men's residence, but the Brockington wing became co-ed in 1991 and the Gordon wing followed suit the next year.

Gordon-Brockington was built during the intense residence building period of the 1950s and 1960s, after Principal Mackintosh surmised that a campus where the majority of first year students lived in residence would give Â鶹¹ÙÍø's a special sense of community not to be found at other universities.
