Title
Landmark of Learning : Renovating the 'Mother House' for Dawson College
Abstract
Montreal's Dawson College was the first English-language CEGEP established in Quebec. Opened in 1969, the school was scattered over fourteen separate buildings around the city until, in 1982, it acquired the Mother House and property of the Sisters of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame, occupying an entire city block between de Maisonneuve Boulevard, Sherbrooke Street, Wood Avenue in Westmount and Atwater Street in Montreal. Following extensive renovations, the school opened in its new location in 1988. The author outlines the acquisation history of the Mother House by Dawson College, and the renovations that were done to it to turn the site into Quebec's largest CEGEP.
