Campus Life

Buildings as prominent as the faculties they house

The greater HEC Montréal campus includes the Decelles Building, and the Côte-Sainte-Catherine Building.

The unique architecture of the Côte-Sainte-Catherine Building is the work of renowned architect Dan S. Hanganu. To better understand student needs while designing the building, Mr. Hanganu discreetly observed them in the 3rd-floor study areas of the Decelles Building. This covert practice would inspire the Côte-Sainte-Catherine Building’s study areas, which are bathed in natural light. In 2001, this project was honoured with an award of excellence from the Ordre des architectes du Québec. Click here for more details about the challenges faced by the architect.

Walking the talk: focusing on sustainable development

A true pioneer, HEC Montréal has been offering courses on sustainable development for over 15 years, long before “sustainable” became a buzzword
In 2006, HEC Montréal launched the first graduate diploma program (D.E.S.S.) in Management and Sustainable Development.
More recently, the school signed an agreement with Mobiligo as a way of playing an active role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions generated in the borough.
In 2008, the school’s campus officially earned “sustainable campus” status.
