The Macdonald Chemistry Building, recently renamed the Macdonald-Harrington Building after its first Chemistry professor, Bernard Harrington, was built between 1896 and 1897 and was one of the many donations made to the University by Sir William Macdonald. Sir Andrew Taylor, the architect of many buildings on campus, was commissioned for this project along with his current partners, Morley Hogle and Huntley Davis. Built just after the听Redpath Library, the first听Macdonald Engineering Building, and the听Macdonald Physics Building, the Macdonald Chemistry Building is a typical example of Taylor's work.听

It has a symmetrical, Classical Italian, facade, the exterior being of Montreal limestone to match the rest of the campus. The ground floor is rusticated, but above this point, cut stone is used. Like Taylor's other structures, Macdonald Chemistry is very functional, yet is not without ornament. It is constructed of steel, brick, and wood on the interior. The steel beams are exposed, as they were in Taylor's Redpath Library stacks, yet share the load with thick, brick walls and partitions. Brick is used for walls and all major doorways are arched as in Macdonald Physics.

Most of the ornament of the building is concentrated around the facade, for instance the lions, each holding a shield, perched on each pillar in front of the central stairs. Other developed details occur around the windows and in the doorways.听

Project Description:

This project consists of the interior renovation of the Workshops located at the basement level of Macdonald Engineering and Macdonald Harrington, as well as interior renovations, including HVAC, to collaborative spaces such as classrooms, studios, etc. in Macdonald Harrington. The HVAC component will add a new air handling unit to the roof of the Macdonald Harrington Annex. The existing elevator will be upgraded, and a new elevator will be installed in the Annex.

The main objective of the renovation is to solve functionality and ventilation issues in the Workshops, and to modernize and ventilate (partially) the interior of the Macdonald Harrington, as requested by the architectural accreditation board. The approximate renovation area is 3,750 net square meters and includes the following disciplines: architecture, structure, mechanical, electrical, hygiene, and IT.
