Our Building - 688 Sherbrooke West
The campus home of the School of Continuing Studies (SCS) is the 20-floor tower building at 688 Sherbrooke West, on the corner of Robert-Bourassa Boulevard, which continues north as Unviversity Street.
Entrance
There are two ways to get in the building from the street. The main door is at 688 Sherbrooke Street, just at the bus stop for the #24 bus, behind the inukshuk sculpture. It is important to go in the doors on the left, where there is a McGill sign, and then go up the escalators. The reason is that there are some non-McGill floors in the bulding, and the elevators to those floors are in the main floor lobby.
To go up the elevators to the floors where our offices and classrooms are, take the escalators to the 2nd floor. Sometimes there is a line-up for the elevators, because there is a rush-hour in our building at the beginning of classes, and sometimes after lunch. Sometimes, the wait for the elevator is long, so it is sometimes faster and more convenient to take the stairs between our classroom floors.

Washrooms
Each floor in our building has a men's washroom and a women's washroom. The men's is on the west side of the building, next to the west stairs and the drinking fountain. The women's is on the east side, next to the east stairs. The washrooms are in the same place on every floor.
Drinking Fountain
The tap water in Montreal is safe to drink, so it is not necessary to buy bottled water. On each floor, there is a drinking fountain in the hallway, next to the men's washroom. These fountains have a cooling unit to make the water extra cold. Some of the fountains have a special tap to easily fill reusable water bottles or cups.
