The Ernest Rutherford Physics Building, named after one of McGill's most famous radiation physicists, was constructed in 1977 to provide this department with modern labs and equipment.ÌýThe Rutherford Building consists of prefabricated concrete slabs attached to a steel frame.
Special precautions were taken to make the building as tremor free and stable as possible due to the nature of the experiments carried out here. The concrete is of a texture and colour that blends with the rest of the McGill campus structures.
The only element of decoration in this functional building is the regular fenestration of tinted grey panels. The ground floor contains offices and large lecture rooms while the upper storeys are given to offices and labs, some quite specialized.Ìý
