Campus - Aerial Layout

Looking northeast across the University Bridge towards the President's Residence, University Hospital, and Chemistry and Physics buildings. John Mitchell Building under construction; south area of College Drive and homes in foreground.

Chemistry Annexes - Exterior

Elevated view looking north at Chemistry annexes at far right.

Bio/Historical Note: The limitations of the original Chemistry Building became apparent with the massive influx of students at the end of World War II. The rise in enrollment put a strain on the resources of universities across the country. In response the federal government offered military surplus equipment and buildings to educational institutions at bargain prices. The University of Saskatchewan purchased nine surplus huts used at the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan airport at Dafoe, Saskatchewan, for $46,000 and joined them together to form Chemistry Annex One and Two. This “temporary” solution remained in place for two decades. The annexes were reconfigured in 1964-1965. The Thorvaldson Building opened on 6 June 1966. The annexes were removed by spring 1977.
