"Bennett Gates"

"The elegant stone structures now known as the Bennett Gates date to 1932 and were relocated to the Hoskin Avenue entrance to Philosopher's Walk from the south side of the Tanz Neuroscience Building. The pineapple finials are the universal sign of hospitality and the gates have also been planted with native yews and perennials for visual appeal and sustainability.

In addition to providing appropriate welcome to the south end of the walk, the entire relocation project includes replacement and consolidation of walkways and screening of the Trinity College service area. The installation of the gates represents the first phase of a long-range master plan for maintaining and enhancing Philosopher's Walk as a heritage landscape."
