Building 21 is McGill University's interdisciplinary idea lab. We are an experiment in new, innovative, and beautiful ways to approach the university experience—an open lab where curious minds from all levels and disciplines are invited to collaborate, to think, and to dream together outside the traditional confines of their areas of study and expertise.

Since 2017, students, faculty, and staff at McGill University have come to Building 21 to work with like-minded talents from across our campuses, and freely explore ideas and projects they may otherwise not have had the opportunity to. This is a place where students, faculty and staff can re-experience, re-model, re-build, and re-invent the entire edifice of higher education.
