Looking northwest across the Bowl at the Geology Building under construction.

Bio/Historical Note: The construction of the Geology Building marked a return to the early style of campus architecture. The Department of Geology had been formed in 1927 and for the next six decades was based in the east wing of the Engineering Building. A growing faculty and student population had forced the department to cobble together makeshift accommodation in trailers and remote campus buildings. Designed by the architectural firm Black, McMillan and Larson of Regina, the building was given a neo-Collegiate Gothic exterior to blend harmoniously with the other buildings in the central campus. The two-and-a-half-storey building was erected just south or the Bowl side of the W.P. Thompson Biology Building, providing 8,543 square metres for office, laboratory, library, classroom, and storage space for rock and fossil samples. The exterior was clad with greystone and dressed with tyndal limestone. The dominant feature of the interior was a two-story atrium that featured the mosaics for the former exterior walls of the Thompson Building, a life-size skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex and geological and biological displays. The $18.5 million Geology Building was completed in 1988 and fused the space between Physics and Biology and linked, through a walkway, with Chemistry, creating an integrated science complex on campus.

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.

Looking west at the Drinkle Building, location of the University of Saskatchewan's original campus in 1909 and 1910. Located on the southwest corner of 21st Street East and 2nd Avenue South in downtown Saskatoon; pedestrians walking on sidewalk and road.

Bio/Historical Note: Drinkle Block No. 1 was built by John Clarence Drinkle in 1909. It was the first large and modern business block in the city and boasted the latest conveniences - elevators and telephones. The building was demolished in 1925 when it was destroyed in fire and was replaced with the McMillan Building around 1927.
