Editing Robarts Library (section)

==In popular culture==
Robarts Library may have served as a model for the secret library in [[Umberto Eco]]'s ''[[The Name of the Rose]]''. Eco spent much of the time writing the novel at the University of Toronto, and the stairwell of the secret library bears a particularly strong resemblance to that in Robarts Library.<ref name="mcClelland_2007"/>

Robarts was used for exterior shots of the prison setting in ''[[Resident Evil: Afterlife]]''. The entire building is visible numerous times, having been digitally edited and transplanted from its downtown Toronto location to Los Angeles. In the film, it has been surrounded by a prison wall and hundreds of thousands of zombies. While the exterior retains its triangular shape, the interior is rectangular.<ref name="GlobalNational">{{cite web|url=http://www.globalnational.com/explosions+for+resident+evil+shoot+rock+south+riverdale/67981/story.html|title=Explosions for 'Resident Evil' shoot rock south Riverdale|last=Austin|first=Daniel|work=[[Global National]]|date=December 8, 2009|access-date=October 11, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120403031507/http://www.globalnational.com/explosions+for+resident+evil+shoot+rock+south+riverdale/67981/story.html|archive-date=April 3, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref>
