Abstract
The Onyx Axis is a remnant of Onyx Street, which was a residential road up to the end of the Lawrence/Cuthbert Era. Straub Hall is the most distinctive feature on the Axis, but the Douglas firs on the corner of 15th Avenue predate the building. Onyx Street and its association with the EMU was altered in 1972 when the EMU expanded eastward and blocked the road.
