Burnside Hall (French: Pavillon Burnside) is a McGill University building located at 805 Sherbrooke Street West, on the university's downtown campus in Montreal, Quebec. It is named after Burnside Place, the Montreal estate of James McGill, the university's founder.[1] Built in 1970 by Marshall, Merrett, and Associates to accommodate the Faculty of Science, the thirteen-storey building is constructed in Brutalist style and stands just northeast of the Roddick Gates, in the centre of McGill's campus.[2]
The building currently houses the Departments of Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences, Geography, Mathematics and Statistics, the Network and Communications Services (NCS), the Walter Hitschfeld Geographic Information Centre (GIC) and the Edward Rosenthall Mathematics & Statistics Libraries at the university.[2]
