The former RVH site presents a unique opportunity to address the University’s shortage of teaching and research space. McGill and the Quebec Government are in discussions as to a common vision, with the University seeking an expansion of the downtown campus based on two academic pillars: Sustainability Sciences and Public Policy. A feasibility study (Dossier d’Opportunité) is underway and McGill intends to use the potential project to create a state-of-the-art “living laboratory” for new ways of working, collaborating and tackling complex problems.
