TRANSCRIPT:
History Duncan McArthur Hall is home for the Faculty of Education and was opened in 1971. It is located on West Campus, which is about a twenty-minute walk from the Main Campus. Before West Campus was purchased by Queen’s in 1969, the land used to hold a farm and stone quarry which were staffed by the Kingston Penitentiary inmates.
Fun Facts The Education Library has one of the best views of Lake Ontario from any Queen’s building. You can also check out resources from the library that are useful for educational practicums, such as puppets! The building is home to a dinosaur statue Tracie, which now wears a mask.
Academics and Student Life Duncan McArthur Hall features one of the largest of Queen’s lecture halls, the Education Library, classrooms, labs, technical shops and offices for the Education faculty. There are many interactive spaces such as its very own garden and Student Street Express café.
