Transforming spaces. Connecting people.

A lackluster hallway, an empty lawn, an awkward nook – every university campus has them. But what if these were reimagined as a colorful study space with undulating seats, a pop-up outdoor classroom, and a busking area for student musicians?

 

The McGill Spaces Project (MSP) was founded on the premise that although space on McGill’s downtown campus is limited, its potential is limitless. We seek to engage students, faculty, staff, and members of the Montreal community in a collaborative process to transform underused spaces on McGill’s downtown campus. 

 

As a group of dedicated undergraduate and graduate students working in collaboration with staff and faculty from across McGill, the MSP brings student energy, faculty expertise, and staff experience together to use McGill's campus as a living labratory. Through experimentation, we aim to explore the connections between physical spaces and our quality of life, our community, and how they contribute to the big picture of social sustainability overall.
