TinyTO model of downtown Toronto

There is a model of the city's buildings sitting in the lobby of Toronto City Hall, just off to the left as you come in, showing many of the city's iconic landmarks such as the CN Tower and Rogers Centre (note the dome is open) in white. It is modular and ready to be updated as the city evolves.

Humber College through their Centres of Innovation Network has recently partnered with the city to update the tiny model buildings to accurately portray the city's downtown skyline. Students from various school departments (Industrial Design, Interior Design, Graphic Design, User Experience Design and Game Programming) using Toronto's 3D Massing info.

The 3D model of the city core has 12 tiles (4×3 grid) with each tile being 1.2m x 1.2m with a model scale of 1:1250
