In 1932, the groundbreaking construction of the Montreal Neurological Institute commenced just north of the Pathological Institute, fueled by a generous gift from the Rockefeller Foundation. Designed to complement the architecture of the Royal Victoria Hospital, this stunning structure seamlessly blended with the hospital complex and officially opened its doors in 1934.
The institute quickly became a beacon of medical innovation and research. Recognizing its importance, the building was expanded in 1945 by the renowned firm of Fetherstonhaugh and Durnford, the same visionary architects behind several other iconic McGill projects, including Douglas Hall. Today, the Montreal Neurological Institute stands as a testament to pioneering spirit and architectural excellence, continuing to push the boundaries of neurological science and patient care.
