  • The McCall MacBain Arts Building (also known as the Arts Building, formerly the McGill College Building) is a landmark building located at 853 Sherbrooke Street West, in the centre of the McGill University downtown campus in Montreal, Quebec. The Arts Building is the oldest building on campus, and was designed in Classical style by John Ostell beginning in 1839. The building's central block and east wing were completed in 1843, and the west and north wings were completed in 1861 and 1925, respectively, after involving multiple architects, including Alexander Francis Dunlop and Harold Lea Fetherstonhaugh. Today the Arts Building is made up of three distinct wings around a central block: Dawson Hall (east), Molson Hall (west), and Moyse Hall (north), and currently houses the Department of French Language and Literature, Department of English and the Department of Art History and Communication Studies. The building also hosts lectures for several other departments from the Faculty of Arts. In April 2019, the building was renamed the McCall MacBain Arts Building in recognition of a private donation of C$200 million, the largest single gift to a university in Canadian history, from the McCall MacBain Foundation.

  • Le pavillon des arts McCall MacBain est un édifice situé au 853, rue Sherbrooke Ouest, au centre du campus du centre-ville de l'Université McGill à Montréal, Québec. C'est le plus ancien bâtiment du campus, conçu dans le style néoclassique par John Ostell à partir de 1839. Le bloc central et l'aile est du bâtiment sont achevés en 1843. Les ailes ouest et nord sont achevées en 1861 et 1925, respectivement, après avoir impliqué plusieurs architectes, dont Alexander Francis Dunlop et Harold Lea Fetherstonhaugh. Aujourd'hui, le Pavillon des arts est composé de trois ailes distinctes autour d'un bloc central : le pavillon Dawson (est), le pavillon Molson (ouest) et le pavillon Moyse (nord). Il abrite actuellement le Département de langue et littérature françaises, le Département d'anglais et le Département d'histoire de l'art et d'études en communication. En avril 2019, le bâtiment est rebaptisé McCall MacBain Arts Building en reconnaissance d'un don privé de 200 millions de dollars canadiens, le plus important don à une université de l'histoire du Canada, de la Fondation McCall MacBain.
