Named after Sir John Abbott, Canada's third prime minister, the College primarily serves Montreal's West Island community. Located in historic Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, on the western tip of the Island of Montreal, John Abbott‘s distinctive red brick buildings and magnificent campus were originally deeded to McGill University in 1906 by Sir William Macdonald.
Established in 1971, John Abbott offers five pre-university and eleven career programs, including Quebec‘s only English-language CEGEP training in Pre-Hospital Emergency Care, Dental Hygiene, Information and Library Technologies, Engineering Technologies, Police Technology, and Youth and Adult Correctional Intervention.
Over 5800 students are enrolled in the Day Division and another 2000 in Continuing Education.
The Herzberg building is the central building on campus, housing classrooms and labs for a variety of subjects including math, chemistry, physics, biology, and nursing. The building is also home to essential student services, such as the college library, offices for various clubs, the Print Services office, as well as offices for both the Director General and the Academic Dean.
The Casgrain Building houses the sports complex, as well as the theatre and art studios of the college, and is named in honour of Thérèse Casgrain, a former Canadian senator who was an advocate for the women's suffrage movement.
