Description
In approximately 1963, the Marionopolis CEGEP constructed a new home for itself on Peel Street at the corner of Dr. Penfield Avenue. In 1971, McGill bought this edifice, renamed the Powell Student Services Building, in honour of Raymond E. Powell, a chancellor of McGill and president of the Aluminum Company of Canada. This three-storey, steel and concrete framed structure is faced with brick. Due to the number of extensions the building has undergone, the interior is filled with many staircases and winding passages. Several of McGill's student services are located in the Powell Building, including the health clinic and student counseling, financial aid, career and placement, and off-campus housing.
