Dawson College is located at the western tip of downtown Montreal and is the only CEGEP linked directly to a Métro station (Atwater). The building is a heritage site that dates back to 1908 when it was the Mother House of the Congrégation-de-Notre-Dame, a religious order of teaching sisters. In 1988, Dawson opened its doors in the newly renovated building after nearly 20 years spread out over downtown Montreal in some 12 different locations.

Dawson's 10,000 students and 1,000 employees can trace their roots to more than 70 cultures and languages. This diversity enriches the lives of every member of this multicultural community within a welcoming and stimulating environment. Table of Contents

On September 23, 1969, Dawson welcomed its first incoming class of 1,655 students and 111 full-time at a glance faculty members. For nearly 20 years, Dawson College occupied sometimes as many as 12 campuses spread out across downtown Montreal from Selby Street in the west to De Lorimier in the east. In 1984, extensive renovations were begun to transform a magnificent building that had served as the Mother House of the Congrégation-de-Notre-Dame, a religious order of teaching sisters since 1908, into Dawson College as it is today. In the Fall of 1988, the doors were opened to a new era of Dawson, continuing a tradition of academic excellence, innovation and a vibrant campus life. Dawson is named for Sir John WIlliam Dawson, a renowned geologist, educator and the principal of McGill University in the last half of the 19th century. A heritage site

The building Dawson College occupies was declared a heritage site in 1977. This designation means that the College must adhere to strict guidelines when it comes to any construction or modification to the building or grounds, maintenance and improvements, preservation of trees, grasses, plants and shrubs, and ensuring the integrity of the building. After renovations in the 1980s and major expansion extending to de Maisonneuve Blvd. West was completed in the 1990s, the site achieved the limit of allowed sprawl. The theatre and enlarged student area in the Atrium was added in 2007 between two existing wings. The Tony Proudfoot Gym, completed in 1997, was built into the bedrock up to four levels below street level. In 2011, the Dawson Peace Garden was inaugurated on the west grounds. Although the CEGEP system is secular, some religious artefacts have been preserved in the College for their historical significance. In the Library, formerly the chapel of the Mother House, carvings adorn the walls representing the Stations of the Cross, and the light fixtures are made of wood in the shape of crosses. Atop the dome is a statue of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde depicting the Madonna and Child, which was completely refurbished An urban green space

Dawson College occupies a full city block on the western edge of downtown Montreal, extending north to Sherbrooke St. West, south to de Maisonneuve Blvd. West, east to Atwater Ave. and west to Wood Ave. in Westmount. The entire area sits on 12 acres of green space, including trees that date back more than 100 years. The interior space of the College through all its expansions measures more than 1 million square feet or 91,000 square metres. There are approximately 1,500 rooms, including classrooms, laboratories, gyms, offices, meeting rooms, common areas, utility rooms and mechanical and electrical installations. A major upgrade to systems has been conducted over the past few years to increase the potential for energy savings and a far-reaching program of sustainability was introduced to the campus in an effort to eliminate the College’s carbon footprint. The Peace Garden is an ecological zone that encourages biodiversity and reclaims wildlife species long gone from the downtown core, including monarch butterflies and mallard ducks. The Garden, conceived as a memorial space to the events of September 13, 2006, now serves as a living classroom where students across the disciplines benefit from the calming, interactive, aethestic, biological, poetic and literary aspects of the Peace Garden all year round. Getting here is easy Campus Map Dawson is the only college in the network that is directly accessible through the Métro system, at the Atwater station on the Green line.

12 Dawson College Viewbook Choosing a Program What is a DEC? A DEC is a college-level diploma unique to Quebec. It is granted by the Ministry of Education when a student successfully completes all the requirements of a CEGEP program. DEC stands for diplôme d’études collégiales.

Science, Medical Studies & Engineering 31 The CEGEP system is secular, but the building that houses Dawson College has a strong connection to one of the most influential teaching orders in the history of Quebec, Dawson Library the Congrégation-de-Notre-Dame.

Many of the library’s artefacts remain:

• The building was opened in 1908. • It served as the Mother House of the order for eight decades. • The statue that sits on top of the dome is Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, the Madonna holding the Christ child. • The dome is made of solid copper. • Dawson’s library is the building’s former chapel. It is adorned with large light fixtures in the shape of a cross, lit only for special occasions, as they were when the Sisters lived here. • The stations of the cross can still be seen around the perimeter of the room. • The circulation desk is located where the altar once stood. • In 1982, Marguerite Bourgeoys, founder of the order, was canonized by Pope John Paul II. When he came to Montreal in 1984, he paid a visit to what is now Dawson College. • Marguerite Bourgeoys’ remains were buried on the property for nearly 75 years. When the building was acquired in the early 1980s as the eventual site of Dawson College, her remains were relocated to Notre‑Dame-du-Bonsecours chapel in Old Montreal. • The pipe organ’s ornamental pipes remain on the second floor at the back of the room, although the actual organ was donated to a church. • The large staircase leading to the second floor did not exist in the original chapel, but it was constructed of wood reclaimed in the renovations.

Basketball Dawson's men have a long and succesful history in the CCAA. They have represented Quebec at least 15 times at National competitions, coming home with five Na- tional titles. The Women’s team ranked second and won Silver at the 2012 nationals.

Hockey The Dawson Women’s Hockey team was started in 1998 as a club team and has since gone on to capture one gold and two silver medals at the Provincial Championships. Rosters have included Olympic Gold Medalists Marie-Philip Poulin and Catherine Ward. The Dawson Men’s Hockey team was reintroduced in 2011 as a club team.

Soccer The Dawson soccer program has grown to be one of the best in the province. In 2010-2011, the men’s soccer team captured the title of Provincial champions for the first time and the women’s team placed first in the season and captured the silver medal at the Provincial championship.
