Description

Although a branch of Université Laval was planned as Montreal's first French-language university, it was not until February 14, 1920, that the law founding the university was passed, and another 23 years passed before the mountain campus's inauguration on June 3, 1943. The University's architecture is of very original Art-Deco type achieved by Ernest Cormier. The main entrance and the Dean's office are two major masterpieces worth mentionning.
