1 James Street North is a 5-storey low-rise office building in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.[1] The building was completed in 1972, and is part of the Lloyd D. Jackson Square complex.[2] The building was originally named the Bank of Montreal Pavilion, after the Bank of Montreal, the building's original anchor tenant.
History
In 1972, when the Pavilion was constructed, the Bank of Montreal occupied the entire building. However, in 1997, BMO left the building and moved to a new location at the corner of Main and Bay streets, leaving the entire building vacant for almost 18 years.[3]
In 2014, McMaster University discovered that the courthouse that they were leasing from the city of Hamilton was to be converted back into a courthouse, and that the university would have to vacate the building. McMaster then decided to lease the old BMO pavilion, as the amount of square footage that the building offered was just the right amount. In April 2015, the McMaster Centre for Continuing Education, occupying the entire building, opened its doors to students and educators.[3][4]
Description
The building's facade consists of glass windows, segmented into 7 sections by 8 large
