Historic Sites of Manitoba: St. Andrew’s College (29 Dysart Road, Winnipeg)

This college building on Dysart Road, on the Fort Garry campus of the University of Manitoba, was designed by the local architectural firm of Green Blankstein Russell and Associates and constructed between December 1962 and mid-1964 at a cost of about $1 million. It was said to be the only Ukrainian Orthodox College in the world. The facility contained four classrooms and accommodation for up to 107 students.

St. Andrew’s College was opened officially on 4 July 1964 at a ceremony attended by Premier Charles Dufferin “Duff” Roblin, University President Hugh Hamilton Saunderson, Archbishop Michael of Toronto, Archbishop Andrew of Edmonton, and Bishop Boris of Saskatoon, along with more than 500 adherents of the Ukrainian Orthodox faith.
