³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ’s campuses may be Montreal landmarks unto themselves, but they’re not the only way the University has shaped the look of its hometown. Many notable Montreal buildings sprang forth from the imaginations of ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ’s School of Architecture graduates. Max Kalman (BArch1931) designed the Galeries Norgate, Canada’s first shopping mall. Moshe Safdie (BArch1961) designed the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. And the city’s anniversary year also happens to mark the 50^th birthday of another Safdie creation, and perhaps the city’s most-photographed apartments: the innovative Habitat 67 apartment complex along the St-Lawrence River.

Other Canadian cityscapes have benefited from the ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ touch. Vancouver is home to Robson Square and many other locales designed by Arthur Erickson (BArch1950), and Safdie’s main branch of the Vancouver Public Library. Safdie also designed the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, a terminal at Pearson International Airport in Toronto, and the Musée de la Civilisation in Quebec. And Raymond Moriyama (MArch1957) has not only changed the look of Toronto – he designed the Bata Shoe Museum, the Ontario Science Centre, the Toronto Reference Library and the Canadian War Museum – but even a bit of far-flung Canadian soil: the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo.
