Arts Building, University building at McGill University, Montreal, Canada
Located at 853 Sherbrooke Street West, the McCall MacBain Arts Building features Classical Revival architecture with its central block and three distinct wings.
Construction of the Arts Building began in 1839, making it the oldest structure on McGill University campus, with the central block completed in 1843.
The building houses several academic departments including French Language and Literature, English, and Art History and Communication Studies within its historical walls.
Students access extensive library resources, lecture halls, faculty offices, and meeting spaces throughout the building's multiple wings and central block.
In 2019, the building received its current name following a 200 million Canadian dollar donation, the largest single gift to any Canadian university.
