Downtown Campus

McGill’s park-like downtown campus presents a wide mix of architectural styles, including imposing Gothic, Victorian, and Modern buildings. Their varied features (like stained glass, turrets, pitched copper roofs and distinctive silhouettes) are unified by the use of local grey limestone and a graciously landscaped central campus. Dotted with mature trees, punctuated with sculpture, and bordered by wide walkways, the campus’ spreading lawns are the perfect place to kick a ball, savor a cup of coffee, or just soak up the sun.

Depending on the day and season, you might also find outdoor events on campus (like the fall Farmers’ Market, a summer barbecue, or an impromptu snowball fight).

At any time of year, we invite you to join us for a guided historical tour or to explore points of interest in our self-guided tour brochure.
