6 LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW mmc A DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW - COLLEGE - AND - GROUNDS ii SITE:—The New Grounds and College Buildings are situated on Sher- brooke Street, in the extreme West of Notre Dame de Grace, convenient to the Street Cars, and within five minutes walk of the C.P.R. suburban station of Montreal West. The grounds, about fifty acres in all, extend both North and South of Sherbrooke Street, but for the present the South portion of about twenty acres will remain as an orchard and be cultivated by the College. Тһе remainder, fully twenty-seven acres, is being laid out with a view to future developments. PLAN :—Before definitely fixing upon a plan, various similar institutions were investig ated, and after mature consideration, it was decided to discard the generally accepted principle of one large building with its consequent dark and cheerless rooms, and to follow the modern English tendency towards separate buildings for each Department, to connect these buildings with cloisters and treat the quadrangles thus formed as lawns and flower gardens. The Block Plan herewith attached shows more clearly the scheme and the relative position of the buildings, campus, etc. Facing Sherbrooke Street and set back 150 feet is the Main Administra- tion and Faculty Building partly erected with space reserved for future build- ings both to the East and to the West. Continuing North from the Adminis- tration and Faculty Building is the future Chapel, and behind it are the Refectory Building and to the East the Juniors' Building, both completed, and to the West the future Seniors' Building. North of the Refectory and Juniors Buildings, and extending the full width of the property, over 750 yards, is the Campus, which should rank as one of the finest of its kind in Canada. As a means of comparison it may be noted that it is considerably larger than that of the M.A.A.A. Grounds on St. Catherine Street West. At present, for financial reasons, only three buildings have been erected, these being the Juniors, the Refectory, and part of the Administration and Faculty Building. JUNIORS' BUILDING:—The Juniors Building, which for the time being will accommodate both Seniors and Juniors is L shaped in plan, about 160 by 130 feet, three-and-a-half storeys high, and has accommodation for about 115 Boarders. In the main portion of the Ground Floor are the Recrea- tion Room, 95 by 30 feet, Billiard Room, Reading Room with open fire-place and bay-window, and Locker Room. Тһе Eastern Wing of this floor provides accommodation for the Day Scholars and includes Study, Locker Room, etc. These two latter rooms are not yet completed, the space being required for the temporary Chapel.
