Dawson College received its charter in 1968 as part of a new network of post-secondary educational institutions in Quebec called CEGEPs. On September at a glance 23, 1969, Dawson welcomed its first incoming class of 1,655 students and 111 full-time 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 restored in 2010 to its original beauty after more than 100 years of exposure to the elements of Montreal’s four seasons, including rain and snow, ice and sun, and the effects of freezing and thawing. 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.

16 Dawson College Viewbook Humanities Humanities is a multidisciplinary exploration of human civilization, including its accomplishments, failures, abilities, creations, ideas, beliefs and values. As part of the General Education curriculum, Humanities is intended to promote personal and social development and to give students a foundation that will help them understand their roles in contemporary society as individuals, as workers and professionals, and as citizens of their country and the world. The required courses in Humanities propose frameworks for understanding the experiences, ideas and values of humankind and their diversity. They are aimed at developing critical thinking, reinforcing the skills involved in careful reading, organized writing and well-developed oral presentations, and where appropriate, improving media and computer literacy.

Physical Education Physical Education courses at Dawson College promote a healthy, active lifestyle. Specific goals include the establishment of the relationship between one’s lifestyle habits and health, the exploration of and improvement in specific physical activity skills, and the promotion of students’ self-responsibility for their personal health, fitness and positive lifestyle choices. Learning environments and areas of curriculum include aquatics, dance, combative sports, individual sports, team sports, fitness activities, outdoor education and stress management. Dawson College has excellent facilities, including three gyms, an indoor rock climbing wall, weight rooms, dance/combat rooms, general fitness rooms and multi-activity areas. Off campus, students have access to rental facilities in various outdoor locations, such as a swimming pool, tennis courts and a rowing basin.

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.
