McKinnon Building (1975/1980)

Architects: Rhone & Iredale, (Vancouver)

Built to meet the academic needs of Physical Education and sports recreation, the swimming pool and gymnasium represents the first use of precast tilt construction on campus. An extension was added in 1980, and in 1981 a solar heating system was installed on the roof. An example of modern Expressionist aesthetics, the structure bespeaks the engineering principles with an honest formalism.
