Pembina Hall

Built in 1914, Pembina Hall is one of our original buildings and was the first to be built with a frame made of steel and concrete. Pembina Hall is one of the 3 Sisters, a title given to the three buildings that feature the same red brick exterior and line the east edge of Quad. This building has served many purposes over the years, including a student residence and a municipal hospital during the flu epidemic of 1918. Now home to the only Faculty of Native Studies in Canada, a tipi is raised in front of the building each year to mark the summer solstice and honour our Aboriginal community.
