Building Collapses at Yonge and Gould Sts.

A portion of Ryerson’s campus was shut down this morning after part of a brick building at the corner of Yonge and Gould Sts. collapsed.

The bricks fell from the second floor facade of the three-storey building which is also home to Salad King and Tatami Sushi, both popular student lunch spots.

Police and firefighters have been on-site since 1 p.m, attempting to clear the debris, which completely covered the sidewalk and bicycle racks below. Thankfully, nobody was hurt.

Authorities also closed traffic along Yonge from Dundas north to Gerrard, and along Gould from Yonge to Victoria.
