Vladimir filming locations
Stillcrest College, with the motto "Scientia in Lumine" (Latin for "Knowledge in Light"), was filmed at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus Valley.
The campus features the iconic mid-1960s Brutalist-style Andrews Building (1966), a pioneering example of Brutalist architecture, with its innovative, award-winning layout set amid suburban parkland along Highland Creek.
The campus has a peculiar, dark and stark, Imperial Star Destroyer–esque look that has served to recreate a detention center in the dystopian series The Handmaid's Tale, a gloomy FBI office in The Madness, a sinister research facility in Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water, and an unsettling institute in Stereo, the 1969 film by David Cronenberg.
The university bistro is a former restaurant and pub called Rex's Den, also located on the UTSC campus.
