• Hume, Christopher. (2005, 11 November). "Building with good genes". Toronto Star.

  That point was made with deafening silence a few days ago, when the Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research opened its doors. Simply put, this is one of the finest buildings to have appeared in Toronto in some time. It's so good, in fact, that it should be the first stop for visiting design stars. It would remind them that whatever else architecture may be, it is part of city-building.

  The $100 million glass structure, on the north side of College St., west of University Ave. on the University of Toronto campus, stands out on the urban landscape as an exemplar of architectural intelligence, sophistication and aesthetics.

  The designers, architectsAlliance of Toronto and Behnisch, Behnisch & Partner of Stuttgart, managed to balance the needs of the users with those of the city. The building works on many levels; it is a 21st-century icon on the campus, a civic space as well as a state-of-the-art centre of genomic research.
