Grant Hall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grant Hall is the most recognizable landmark on the campus of Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. It is located on University Avenue, just north of Bader Lane.

It was built by the Queen's student government to honour the legacy of then-Principal George Munro Grant. It has stood for over a century as a symbol of the university. To students, it represents tradition, pride, and the Queen's spirit. Many ceremonial events, plays, and concerts take place in Grant Hall. As it is mainly a convocation hall, classes rarely take place within its walls, although it is used for exams.

For a time during World War I it was also used as a military hospital.
