McGill College Avenue is a street in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Named for McGill University, the street was widened in the 1980s and transformed into a scenic avenue with McGill's Roddick Gates on Sherbrooke Street at its north end and the Place Ville Marie plaza at its south end. Only four blocks in length, notable structures along McGill College include 1501 McGill College, Centre Eaton and Place Montreal Trust, as well as the sculpture The Illuminated Crowd by Raymond Mason.[1]

[edit] Exhibitions

During the summer, the west sidewalk is the site of photography exhibitions by the nearby McCord Museum.[2]
