History of the unit

The Mary Emily Clinical Nutrition Research Unit was established in 1995. Through the generous support of G. Stewart Brown, long time friend and benefactor of McGill University, this turn of the century home, the Walter and May Stewart house, has been restored and renovated. The 5000 sq ft. facility now houses state-of-the-art bone testing and anthropometric equipment, laboratory facilities for the collection and sampling of blood, kitchen and dining facility for dietary studies and comfortable meeting spaces for faculty and staff. Despite the clinical nature of the facility, the décor and design still hold true to the time period in which it’s built, making it a warm and welcoming facility for study participants.
