History

HEC Montréal was founded in 1907 by the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal. Its initial building in Viger Square is now called the Gilles Hocquart Building.

As of 2017, the school had over 87,900 alumni. Since 1921, the HEC Montréal Alumni Association represents the school's graduates throughout Canada and the rest of the world.

Buildings

The Decelles Campus: 1970–today

In 1970, Robert Bourassa inaugurated the Decelles building of HEC Montreal, named "the School on the mountain." The students sometimes use the expression "Bunker" to refer to it due to the use of concrete for the exterior facade and the absence of windows.

In 1976, the PhD program was proposed, in collaboration with McGill University. The MSc program was created the same year.

Under the presidency of Pierre Harvey (HEC 1948), the 75th anniversary of the School was celebrated in 1982 with René Lévesque, then Premier of Quebec, in attendance. The 7th floor of the Decelles building was inaugurated on this occasion.

In 2012, the entire building was renovated.

The Côte-Sainte-Catherine Campus: 1996–today

New building in downtown Montreal

HEC Montréal's main building was constructed in 1996 and has since won an award for "institutional architecture."[9] The building was designed by Dan Hanganu and Jodoin, Lamarre, Pratte and Associates[10] and is situated at 3000 Côte-Sainte-Catherine (Map[11]), next to the Université-de-Montréal Metro Station. The former main building at 5255 Decelles (Map[11]) is now used as a secondary building. The first building used by HEC Montréal was located in downtown Montreal but is no longer used by the school.

The trading floor of the School was inaugurated in 1997, it was conceived to be usable in case the Montreal Stock Exchange ever had major engineering problems. Now known as the Salle des marchés Financière Banque Nationale, it was renovated in 2007 in order to remain technologically current.
