The William G. Davis Building is the oldest and largest academic structure at the University of Toronto Mississauga, located atop the Credit River Valley in Ontario. Designed by Raymond Moriyama and completed in 1973, the brutalist edifice originated as the South Building within architect John Andrews's ambitious master plan for Erindale College—conceived as a single mega-structure unified across the landscape. Today it houses the campus principal and dean's administrative offices, the Mississauga Campus Council, academic departments, student services, laboratories, and lecture halls. One of only two buildings present from the campus's early years, it remains the dominant academic space on campus and was formally renamed in 2010 to honour Ontario premier and education minister William G. Davis.
