Its eastern facade was partially reconstructed and now incorporated as an interior wall in the atrium of the Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research.

-The Rosebrugh Building was known as the Electrical Building when it opened in 1920, to house the new and growing Department of Electrical Engineering.  It was originally built with its eastern entrance facing Taddle Creek Road, on the north side of College Street.
+In the postwar aftermath in 1919, the Faculty saw a great influx of students from those returning from the war. In the fall 1919 academic year, enrollment rose from 241 to 819 students, more than half consisting of veterans, and many in first year. At the same time, Electrical Engineering had become the most popular choice of the incoming class, yet it alone amongst the disciplines did not have a dedicated building at the time. <ref name="white">Richard White, ''The Skule Story: The University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, 1873-2000'', (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2000) at pp. 98-100.</ref>
