Description
William Ganong Hall was one of the University of New Brunswick's first three buildings constructed on the Saint John / Tucker Park campus. Plans for the buildings' construction started being announced in early 1967, with Mott, Myles & Chatwin being selected as architects. In April 1968, a 25-year-old carpenter was killed in a workplace accident during construction. William Ganong Hall houses the Biology, Chemistry, Geology, and Physics at the campus. The building has four total floors, a lecture theater, as well as a greenhouse facility attached. Constructed in 1968, the building was named after William Francis Ganong, a botanist and historian from the province.
