From Saturday, Oct. 5 through Monday, Oct. 7, the Downtown and Macdonald Campuses will be open only to McGill students, employees and essential visitors. Many classes will be held online. Remote work required where possible. See Campus Public Safety website for details.


Du samedi 5 octobre au lundi 7 octobre, le campus du centre-ville et le campus Macdonald ne seront accessibles qu’aux étudiants et aux membres du personnel de l’Université McGill, ainsi qu’aux visiteurs essentiels. De nombreux cours auront lieu en ligne. Le personnel devra travailler à distance, si possible. Voir le site Web de la Direction de la protection et de la prévention pour plus de détails.

The department of Kinesiology and Physical Education has a number of spaces available for teaching, including 2 classrooms (90 m2 each) with a capacity for 100 for students, two smaller rooms for seminars (61 m2, 38.7 m2) and a teaching laboratory (267 m2). The KPE teaching laboratory consists of two teaching spaces, one arranged as a typical classroom setting for lectures with projection of teaching material with a fully automated large screen system, and the other space designed for practical teaching of exercise testing skills with exercise equipment.

In 2015, the teaching lab underwent a complete renovation and exercise testing equipment renewal. This represented a $1.5 million project. In 2016, the Department received an endowed gift from the Tassone family that provides an annual operating budget for the teaching lab, serving to maintain equipment service contracts and replenish small supplies. Now, the Tassone Teaching Lab is used in all theory courses with a laboratory component.
