Building History
The School of Religious Studies is located in the William and Henry Birks Building. The building was designed by the Canadian architect Harold Lea Fetherstonhaugh, a student of Percy Erskine Nobbs, in the Collegiate Gothic style. Construction began in 1929 and was completed in 1931. The building was originally owned by the Joint Board of Theological Colleges. It was known by its original name, Divinity Hall, until 1972,[1] when it was renamed in honor of Canadian businessman Henry Birks and one of his sons.
