Tartu College

Tartu College is a not for profit student residence on the north side of Bloor Street West, just east of Madison Avenue, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Tartu College was built in 1970, two years after its sister building, the David A. Croll Apartments (originally Rochdale College), was built a block away on the opposite side of the street in 1968.

Like the Rochdale building, it is an example of brutalist architectural principles, and serves as a nostalgic reminder[citation needed] of the 1960s culture during which both buildings emerged.

It was named after the city of Tartu, Estonia, and was originally built as an undergraduate student co-op with a library, archive, and study centre serving the Estonian-Canadian community.

The institute deals mostly with activities related to Estonian diaspora in Canada.
