Loyola College (Montreal)
Encyclopedia
Loyola College was a Jesuit college
in Montreal
, Quebec
, Canada
. It ceased to exist when it was incorporated into Concordia University in 1974. A portion of the original College remains as a separate entity called Loyola High School
.
Loyola was founded in 1896, as the English sector of Collège Sainte-Marie (St. Mary's College, founded 1848). Frank Peden (architect) with Walter J. Murray designed several Loyola College buildings: Administration Building (1913-16), Junior Building(1913-16), dormitories(1913-16) and refectory (1913-16).
In 1964, the Loyola High School Corporation was founded to run Loyola High School
separately from the College. When Loyola College merged with Sir George Williams University in 1974, title to the land that Loyola High occupied was transferred from the College.
Loyola was never a degree granting institution, instead, it started out associated with the Université Laval
until 1920, from then on from Université de Montréal
, until it merged with SGWU. Although associated with these universities in order to grant degrees, it nevertheless had full curriculum control. There was a quest to become an independent degree granting university in the 1960s (to become Loyola University), however the Quebec government deemed it a better idea to merge with SGWU. Merger talks began in 1968 and the merger was concluded in 1974. Today, the Loyola Campus remains as a campus of Concordia University.
The campus is home to Loyola International College

The Loyola Chapel has been converted in to a theatre named the F.C. Smith Auditorium.
