Description
The Chemical Engineering and Material Sciences Building, currently being constructed by the firm of Pratte and Troy, incorporates the structure of the Foster Lab in its design. This edifice, donated by Mr. Wong, an alumnus of McGill's School of Architecture, preserves the atmosphere of the campus both in its size and in its materials. It is composed of two sections, the older Foster section which consists of four storeys, and a new wing north of Foster which adds another six storeys to the whole. The Foster Wing, which will be used as offices, has had classrooms and labs added to both its west side and the top of the building, designated for Metallurgical Engineering labs. The new wing will be used for Chemical Engineering labs.
