University Bookstore before McConnell Engineering -- McGill Archives

Over the years, the McGill Bookstore has had several homes, including a house that once existed on the site where McConnell Engineering stands today. In 1990, the University commissioned the firm of Werlman and Guy to build a permanent edifice for the Bookstore on McTavish Street. This three-storey building has a concrete frame that is faced with Montreal limestone in keeping with the rest of the campus. In its size, shape, colour, and placement, the Bookstore blends with the neighboring structures and continues the facade of McTavish Street in a contemporary manner. The entrance and the southeast corner are enclosed in glass and serve as excellent display areas.
