The McEwen School of Architecture (French: l'École d'architecture McEwen), formerly the Laurentian School of Architecture, is an architecture school belonging to Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.[1] The school opened in September 2013, and was the first new school of architecture to open in Canada in 45 years. It is also the first school of its kind in Northern Ontario, and the first in Canada outside Quebec to offer courses in French.

The school adopted its current name in 2016 following a $10 million donation from former Goldcorp CEO Rob McEwen.[2]
