Looking east at Emmanuel College Residence (left) and Emmanuel College.
Bio/Historical Note: The Emmanuel College Residence, completed in 1963, was designed by Webster, Forrester and Scott to accommodate 85 students, the college president and a caretaker. Located just north of the original Emmanuel College building, plans called for the two buildings to be linked, this, however, was never completed. Renamed in 1975, McLean Hall was named in honour of Rt. Rev. John McLean, the first Anglican bishop of Saskatchewan and founder of Emmanuel College. It was leased initially by the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians and then purchased by the University of Saskatchewan in 1983. The building has been home to the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Native Studies, the Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program (SUNTEP) and the University Employees’ Union.

Looking southeast at roof construction of St. Chad Chapel.
Bio/Historical Note: St. Chad College was established in Regina in 1907 for the training of divinity students. It amalgamated with Emmanuel College and moved to the Saskatoon campus in 1964. The Chapel of St. Chad was designed by Webster, Forrester and Scott of Saskatoon and constructed in 1965-1966. Located between Emmanuel College and Rugby Chapel near the Wiggins Street entrance, the stone clad structure’s dominant feature is its soaring roof line. The stained glass used in this building is another character defining element. At the head of the chapel nave stands a window 30 feet in height and 10 feet in width. The window depicts the creative works of God and man. Two windows flank this principle window in the transept; one devoted to the College of Emmanuel and one to St. Chad. These windows measure 33 feet high by 4 feet wide. Some windows depict intricate figurative scenes while others are abstract. The windows lend a range of color to the chapel, defining in particular the character of the nave. Because stained glass is a material associated particularly with Christian churches, the windows also reflect the chapel’s history as a theological institution. The stained glass has been well maintained and fully retains its commemorative integrity.
