Strathcona Case Goes to Court This Week Jean-Pierre Blais & Keith Schmidt McGill University will be in the S u p e r io r C o u r t o f M ontrea l this week to o b ta in a p e r m a n e n t in ju n c tio n to force the builders o f Place M erc an tile to re­ build S tr a th c o n a Hall, alleging th a t it was d em o lish e d in c o n t ra v e n tio n o f the ag re em e n t o f sale. S tra th c o n a Hall with its c o m m a n d i n g p o sition at the c o rn e r o f S h e r b r o o k e an d McGill College fac­ ing the R oddick gates has long been consid ered o f im p o r ta n c e t o the U niver­ sity. but. m ore recently, m a n y d evelop­ ers w a n te d to exploit this v aluable p r o p ­ erty. T h e B oard o f G o v e r n o rs o f the University always refused offers until an a p p r o p r ia t e one was made. An o p tio n to p u rch a se was g ran te d to the developers o f Place M ercantile, subject to the U ni­ versity’s right to a p p r o v e th e overall plan. A n offer to p u rc h a se an d a p r o ­ posed plan was accepted by the Board of G overnors.

McGill directed its th ree million d o l­ la r suit against Petrifond F o u n d a tio n C o m p a g n ie , Louis D o n o lo Inc., M B C R ealty C o r p o r a t i o n an d th e M ercantile Bank o f C a n a d a w hen Place M ercantile d ism a n tle d S tr a th c o n a Hall in July. The developers claim ed th a t they fo u n d the fo u n d a tio n s unstable. T he McGill suit was instituted in A ugust follow ing an a b n o r m a lly long six-week d em olition period d u rin g w hich the University seemed inactive. It is suspected, h o w ­ ever, th a t the s to n e w o rk o f the facade

has been preserved, thus m a k in g r ec o n ­ struction feasible. T he Board o f G o v e r n ­ ors has refused the a l te r n a te plan p res­ ented by the builder consisting o f a glass an d m a so n ry stu c tu re utilizing p a rt o f the original stone w ork. Legal pro ce ed ­ ings w ere instituted w hen the builders refused to accede to the University’s request for th e co n s tru c tio n of a fac­ simile.

In its suit, McGill alleges th a t it is an d has long been conc erned for aesthetic, visual a n d historic reasons to preserve a n d inte g rate as m u c h as possible the a p p e a r a n c e an d a r c h ite c tu r e of the so u th side o f S h e r b r o o k e facing the c a m p u s. T h e M e m o r a n d u m o f A gree­ m ent o f N o v e m b e r 1980 was entered into by McGill an d the developers with the aim o f preserving b o th S tr a th c o n a a n d the G re y sto n e Houses. A t the outset all co n c e rn e d h o p ed th a t such an inte­ grated c o n s tru c tio n plan w ould have a positive influence on future dev e lo p ­ m ent in the area and help prevent the d e s tru c tio n o f som e o f M o n tr e a l’s his­ toric buildings.

M e m b ers o f H eritag e M o n tre a l agreed w ith th e need to preserve and integrate but arg u e d th a t only in c o rp o ­ ratin g the facade o f the fo rm e r building into Place M erc an tile c o u ld n o t be seen as a valid c o n t r i b u tio n to the p rese rva­ tion of o u r a r c h ite c tu r a l past.
