[[File:Trinity College, Toronto, 1928.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1|Trinity College on Hoskin Avenue, 1928]]When Trinity College moved to its present site on Hoskin Avenue in 1925, there was no space for student residences. Not only had the financial pressure of the War delayed construction of the building, it also necessitated a significant scaling back of the design. While the college originally planned for a campus with two quadrangles, a chapel, and a convocation hall, finances only permitted the construction of the south wing by 1925. The building had no residence space, and so the college rented separate buildings on St. George Street for the male and female students. An increasingly large proportion of students chose not to stay on College residence, and the student culture began slowly to be influenced by the larger University.<ref>{{cite book |last= Trinity Review |editor= Watson, Andrew |title= Trinity, 1852-1952 |year= 1952 |publisher= Trinity Review | pages=137–142}}</ref>

To counteract the perceived diluting influence of the University of Toronto on Trinity culture, concerned students insisted on wearing College gowns and blazers around campus to classes. In 1949, some students proposed a ban on freshmen joining [[fraternities]], but this was defeated on grounds of impeding on individualism.<ref>{{cite book |last= Trinity Review |editor= Watson, Andrew |title= Trinity, 1852–1952 |year= 1952 |publisher= Trinity Review | pages=184–185}}</ref> Trinity engaged in rivalries with nearby Colleges, starting with a series of violent raids from University College in the 1920s.<ref>{{cite book |last= Trinity Review |editor= Watson, Andrew |title= Trinity, 1852–1952 |year= 1952 |publisher= Trinity Review | pages=142, 148}}</ref> Across the 1950s, Trinity entered into a fierce, yet good-natured rivalry with its immediate neighbour (and competing Anglican divinity school) Wycliffe College. This rivalry included reciprocal raids between the colleges, thefts of college artifacts, and one instance in November 1953 when Wycliffe students filled up Trinity's entryway with bricks from the under-construction chapel.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title= Chapel Bricks Stray to Trinity Entrance Helped by Theologs|url=https://archive.org/details/thevarsity73/page/262/mode/2up/search/theologs?q=theologs |work=[[The Varsity (newspaper)|The Varsity]] |location=Toronto |date=November 13, 1953 |access-date=June 2, 2020 }}</ref>

[[File:Trinity College Entrance Bricked.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.8|Trinity's main entrance, bricked up by students from [[Wycliffe College]], November 13, 1953]]In 1937, construction began on the new St. Hilda's building, located on the east side of Devonshire Place, a short walk from the main Trinity building. Construction was swift, and female students moved in the next year. St. Hilda's Cartwright Hall became the primary stage for dramatics at Trinity for the subsequent four decades.<ref>{{cite book |last= Trinity Review |editor= Watson, Andrew |title= Trinity, 1852–1952 |year= 1952 |publisher= Trinity Review | pages=156–157}}</ref> In 1941, the college added an east wing, allowing male students to move out of the temporary accommodations on St. George and onto the college grounds.<ref>{{cite book |last= Trinity Review |editor= Watson, Andrew |title= Trinity, 1852–1952 |year= 1952 |publisher= Trinity Review | pages=164–165}}</ref> The same year, the college added a west wing, complete with the Strachan Dining Hall and the Junior Common Room. This substantial expansion was funded by donations from Gerald Larkin of the [[Salada Tea Company]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/larkin_peter_charles_15E.html|title=Biography – LARKIN, PETER CHARLES – Volume XV (1921–1930) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography|website=www.biographi.ca}}</ref><ref name="auto2"/> After the [[World War II|War]], Larkin also funded the construction of the Trinity College chapel in 1953. Previously, the college had used Seeley Hall, located over the front entrance and originally intended as the library, as the chapel.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/discover/take-a-tour/visitors-guide/chapel/|title=The Chapel}}</ref>

One thousand and eighteen Trinity students, staff, and alumni served in the [[Second World War]]. Sixty-six were killed, and thirty-seven wounded. Two were made [[Commander of the Order of the British Empire|Commanders of the Order of the British Empire]], two Officers of the [[Order of Orange-Nassau]], and two granted the [[Croix de Guerre]].<ref>{{cite book |editor-last= Reed |editor-first= T.

[[File:Strachan Hall Exterior, 1941.jpg|thumb|left|Strachan Hall Exterior, 1941]]In 1961, Trinity College completed a new multi-purpose building to its north-west, named after benefactor Gerald Larkin. The Trinity College quadrangle was completed in 1963, when a completed north wing enclosed the land.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/discover/take-a-tour/visitors-guide/quadrangle/|title = The Quad}}</ref> In 1979, a theater was added to the Larkin Building, named after Provost George Ignatieff, which quickly replaced Cartwright Hall as the primary forum for student drama.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/discover/take-a-tour/visitors-guide/george-ignatieff-theatre/|title=George Ignatieff Theatre}}</ref>

In January 1966, Trinity College hosted the "Trinity College Conference on the Canadian Indian." The Conference included presentations from on and off-reserve indigenous persons, and is believed to be Canada's first student-organized forum on indigenous issues.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://magazine.trinity.utoronto.ca/nota-bene-3/|title = Nota Bene – Trinity Magazine}}</ref>

George Ignatieff, Canada's former Ambassador to [[Yugoslavia]], [[NATO]], and the [[United Nations]], became Provost in 1972; he was Trinity's first Provost without a theological background.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/discover/about/who-we-are/provost/past-provosts/|title=Past Provosts|access-date=2020-06-02|archive-date=2020-06-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200605155359/https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/discover/about/who-we-are/provost/past-provosts/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Under Ignatieff, the college integrated its academic programming with the wider University of Toronto to an unprecedented degree. When Ignatieff came to office, the college was deeply in debt. While enrollment remained high, the college was suffering from the policies of the Provincial Government which denied public funds to religious institutions. Due to Trinity's divinity school, it was therefore ineligible for government assistance.<ref>{{cite news |last=Keating |first=Michael |date=October 18, 1972 |title=Ignatieff Has Tough New Job: Keeping Trinity College Solvent |work=The Globe and Mail |location=Toronto}}</ref> As Provost, Ignatieff relieved much of Trinity's faculty, and in 1974 he signed a [[memorandum of understanding]] with the university's [[University of Toronto Faculty of Arts and Science|Faculty of Arts and Science]], ending much of Trinity's independent academics. Where previously Trinity students had taken many of their courses in College, thenceforth most courses were taken with students from other colleges under general University departments.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1974-04-15 |title=Memorandum of Understanding Relating to the Role of the Colleges in the Faculty of Arts and Science, University of Toronto |url=https://www.provost.utoronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/155/2020/01/1974-MoU-Relating-to-the-Role-of-the-Colleges-in-the-Faculty-of-Arts-and-Science.pdf |access-date=2024-02-09 |website=[[University of Toronto]]}}</ref> Similarly, the Faculty of Divinity joined the Toronto School of Theology in 1978, granting its students access to courses at all the university's theological colleges.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tst.edu/about/overview-history |title=Overview & History &#124; Toronto School of Theology |access-date=2020-06-02 |archive-date=2019-03-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190326191616/https://www.tst.edu/about/overview-history |url-status=dead }}</ref> One exception to this trend of academic integration was the [[international relations]] program, founded at the college in 1976.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/study-arts-science/international-relations/message-from-the-director/|title = Message from the Director}}</ref>
