In 1893, the Applied Science Faculty (now Engineering) was relocated to a new home consisting of two structures: one donated by Thomas Workman, and one donated by Sir William Macdonald, one of McGill鈥檚 most generous benefactors.听

Architect Andrew Taylor鈥檚 imposing five-storey Macdonald Engineering Building featured a symmetrical, Italian Renaissance fa莽ade, and was made of Montreal limestone on the exterior. The interior was lined with brick and purely functional, and the ground floor featured a foundry, a forge, a steam and thermodynamics lab, a dynamo and engine room, and a hydraulics lab.听

Unfortunately, the building was gutted by a fire on April 5, 1907.听

Immediately after the fire, Sir William Macdonald stepped forward once again to offer a new Engineering Building to the University. The present Engineering Building was erected on the foundations of Taylor鈥檚 project, and was designed in 1908 by Percy Erskine Nobbs, the Director of the School of Architecture at the time. Following the fate of Taylor鈥檚 building, the University requested that this structure be as fire-proof as possible.听

So听Nobbs, like Taylor, had to put function ahead of ornament. The edifice still stands to this day and is used by the Faculty of Engineering. It has a layout and plan similar to that of Taylor鈥檚. And while it is highly practical, it still features some ornament, such as the carving on the south wall of a phoenix rising from ashes鈥攁 reminder of the fate of Taylor鈥檚 building and a symbol of rebirth.听

Project Description:

This project seeks to transform the Soil Mechanics Labs in the Macdonald Engineering Building. This work includes upgrading the labs to improve the students' experience and modernizing the equipment, lab furniture, and room accessibility/layout

Project scope:

This project involves the renovation of the Soil Mechanics Labs in the Macdonald Engineering Building (rooms MD78, MD79, MD79B, C, D, E). The labs will be upgraded to improve the students' experience as well as to modernize the equipment, lab furniture, and room accessibility/layout. This project will be funded by TLS.
