Loyola Jesuit Hall and Conference Centre

The Loyola Jesuit Hall and Conference Centre opens its doors

The Loyola Jesuit Hall and Conference Centre multi-purpose venue on Concordia’s west-end campus opened its doors in February 2012. Open to the public, the newly refurbished space is warm and inviting. The decor is a deft combination of modern, blonde wood doors and floor in the main room that contrast with the more traditional dark wood window and door frames and carpeting of the adjoining rooms. A gas fireplace and modern set of leather couches add to the coziness while the glass wall and steel lighting fixtures give the room a contemporary feel. A welcoming lounge area and three conference halls are situated on the main level. A seminar room and two small conference rooms also connected by a lounge, are on the upper level.

The newly restored centre has been outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment, while preserving its original charm and history. Located at Concordia’s Loyola Campus in the heart of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, the centre boasts ample parking and is ideally suited to host meetings, workshops, receptions, weddings, as well as business and personal events.

About the restoration

In an effort to celebrate its 100th anniversary and the revitalization of the Loyola Campus, the Loyola Alumni Association raised $4 million towards the Loyola Refectory Restoration Campaign.

The restoration of this historical building has recaptured the beauty of its original unique design and created a new space to meet university and the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce community event needs at the Loyola Campus.

A bit of history

Concordia’s history spans more than a century through the university’s founding institutions — Loyola College and Sir George Williams University. The university’s present success is attributed to the outstanding legacies inherited from these two cornerstone establishments.

The Refectory, which was completed in 1916, was one of the original buildings at Loyola College. It originally served as a dining hall, infirmary and meeting hall. It has also housed various academic and administrative units of the university, including (most recently) the Music Department.

Connected to the Psychology Building, the Refectory is in the shape of a cross and there is an impressive sundial at the top of the south side of the building.
