BAASS is the Bachelor of Arts Architectural Studies Society at the Faculty of Architecture Landscape and Design (al&d) at the University of Toronto. In short, we are the course union for undergraduate architecture students. BAASS was formed in Spring 2000 as a method of further enhancing the student experience at UofT. Our goal is to help improve student life in the architectural programs, and to create a community amongst the undergraduate and graduate students, teacher assistants, and instructors at al&d. BAASS acts as the official voice for students so we highly encourage input from the school community to help better our program. BAASS is funded independently through donations by our members and executive committee members. The Arts and Science Student Union (ASSU) gives partial financial support for selected special events. BAASS Executives are dedicated to helping ensure that the education of all students registered in ARC courses at U of T is the best that can be possibly offered. We strive to ensure easier access to academic resources and general information; provide a direct communication link to the faculty and professors; and work to provide an overall better university experience through social and educational opportunities outside the class room.
