Clark Hall

TRANSCRIPT:

History Clark Hall was opened in 1951 and is the home to both the Campus Bookstore and various student clubs and organizations. A campus bookstore was established in 1909 by two engineering students who wanted to provide inexpensive drafting supplies and textbooks for Engineering students. The building is named in honour of Arthur Lewis Clark, Dean of Applied Science from 1919 until 1943.

Fun Facts The Campus Bookstore is managed by the Queen’s University Engineering Society Services Inc., a notfor-profit student corporation, making it the only successful student-owned and operated campus bookstore in Canada. Most of the books are offered at a discount below list price.

Academics and Student Life The bookstore maintains a stock of all required textbooks for courses in the university along with a wide range of popular reference books and other academic supplies. Clark Hall Pub, the oldest of the student pubs, is located on the top floor and is also run by the Engineering Society.

Accessibility: Both the east and west entrances (to the main Campus Bookstore part) are accessible. There is an elevator near the Customer Service desk.
