The “Seven Wonders of The World” are known as some of the most beautiful and sought after destinations on the planet, drawing crowds of millions every year. From the Colosseum to the Great Wall of China, these man-made works are impressive to anyone who seeks them out. 

This week, however, the Official Wonders Committee (OWC) has named an eighth man-made wonder: The Innis Bathrooms. Complete with stunning views of the basement and urinals that are formed into a six sided cube, the ancient minds behind the building of this monument are yet to be understood. Experts have lovingly named the artifact, “The Glory Hole.” Rumors have formed that ancient spirits may lie in the depths of the far-reaching hallway.

”There’s a certain mystique to it,” stated one Daniels student, “I find myself drawn to its beauty and grace each time that I am allowed to leave Spadina Circle.”

Experts have warned that gaining this type of recognition could impact the state of affairs at Innis and the university as a whole. We are likely to see increased crowds, and potentially attacks on the location.

One Writing and Rhetoric student noted, “It’s like people are realizing that this place exists. We W&R students have been pissing in the Glory Hole for years, and now there’s constantly a run on the place. People are even stealing parts of the wall.”

Some Innis students, mostly Cinema Studies, are fans of the attention, noting that, “It could be good for industry connections.”

Several other Toronto locations were also considered for the list of man made wonders, including Sankofa Square, The Path, and the Queen Street Brandy Melville.
