President's Residence in Winter

Looking northwest at the President's Residence; winter scene.

Bio/Historical Note: The President’s Residence is among the original buildings constructed on campus. The residence was designed by Brown and Vallance, and was built under the direction of A.R. Greig, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. The building was originally planned as a wooden structure. However, a proposal to construct the building out of a local river rock, later known as greystone, was raised prior to the commencement of construction - if the government would foot the bill. Eventually the latter material was chosen, though the government perhaps came to regret its decision. Construction on the President's Residence began in 1910 and finished in early 1913. By the time it was completed the original cost for the building had ballooned from $32,000 to $44,615. Walter Murray, the first president of the University, was deeply embarrassed by the cost of what was to be his personal residence, even though it was also a public building. However, the people of Saskatoon were proud of the building and the status it gave their University, and no public outcry over the cost ever materialized. Renovations to the President's Residence were completed in 1989 by PCL-Maxam at a cost of $96,752. The renovations were designed by architects Malkin/Edwards.

Health Sciences Building - Interior

Standing beside the new Medical Library's current serials stand during official opening of Health Sciences B Wing are (l to r): Sandra Kinloch, medical librarian; Grace Giles, former, and first, medical librarian; Earl Dick, executive director, University Hospital; and Dr. J.E. Leddy, President, University of Windsor, and former dean of Arts and Science (1949-1964) at the U of S.

Bio/Historical Note: In April of 1950, the Medical Library Committee held its first meeting and recommended the creation of a Medical Library as a branch of the University Library. Located in the newly opened Medical Building, it was in operation by the following October. Over the subsequent decades, the Medical Library has grown to meet the demands of all the Health Sciences on campus. In addition to the Library's general collection it houses the Baltzan and Brodie collections on Medical Canadiana and the History of Medicine.

Bio/Historical Note: The oldest wing of the Health Sciences Building, the A Wing, dating to 1949, was originally the Medical College Building. The Health Sciences A Wing has heritage value as the cornerstone of the medical precinct at the university and was designed by architects Webster and Gilbert. The A Wing was renovated and reopened in 2019. The B Wing was completed by 1971.
