Donner Building -- McGill Archives

The Donner Building, named after its patron, W.H. Donner, was built in 1947 by the firm of Lake, Little, and Mace. At this time, the Faculty of Medicine was in need of more space and more modern facilities; the Donner Building provided both. This five storey concrete structure is located on Dr. Penfield Avenue, just south of the Strathcona Anatomy and Dentistry Building. It is a purely functional building and serves its purpose well by providing more lab space for the faculty. In 1965, the McIntyre Medical Sciences Building was constructed on Pine Avenue and the Donner Building was given to the Faculty of Dentistry, which still uses it today.
