The William G. Davis Building, commonly known as the Davis Building, is the oldest and largest academic building on the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) campus in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Designed by architect Raymond Moriyama, it was the centrepiece of his original campus master plan, which envisioned UTM (then known as Erindale College) as a single mega-structure in the Credit River Valley. Completed in 1973, the brutalist Davis Building remains the largest of several buildings on the campus.
Originally known as the South Building, the Davis Building was is one of only two present in the years following the campus's establishment as Erindale College in 1967, the other of which was the North Building, which was demolished in 2015 and later rebuilt. It houses the main administrative offices of the UTM principal, dean, and Campus Council, alongside various academic departments, student services, laboratories, lecture halls, and a food court. It has been named in honour of Ontario premier and education minister Bill Davis since 2010.
