This expansion has exhausted our current facilities and precluded any future growth. Read more...

The federal and provincial governments have announced $58 million for a state-of-the-art building to house expanded teaching, research, administrative and student facilities, that are currently scattered in several buildings, some of which are a century old. "Queen's welcomes this significant infrastructure investment by the Canadian and provincial governments," says Principal Tom Williams. "A new building for the medical school will create hundreds of construction jobs, stimulate the local economy and ensure sustained teaching and research excellence at Queen's for the long-term." The new $77-million facility will be built at Stuart and Arch streets, across from the medical faculty's main teaching hospital, the Kingston General Hospital. Read more...
