Macdonald Campus
McGill has a second campus – Macdonald Campus. This is in the west island near Saint-Anne-de-Bellevue, next to John Abbott College.

McGill students who have classes on both campuses use the McGill shuttle bus during the school year. The service is reduced in the summer. The bus stop is in front our building at 688 Sherbrooke West. You need your McGill ID card to take the shuttle. You can get more information about the McGill shuttle bus here: McGill Shuttle Bus
