The Campus of Laval University In Quebec
The campus of Laval University in Quebec City was planned in the 1940s in response to the rapid expansion of that institution after World War I. Today, the core of the campus represents a coherent ensemble of buildings from the late 1950s and early 1960s. In the context of a society in transition from authoritarian and traditionalist politics to a new liberal vision of the world, as was the case in Quebec during 'la Revolution tranquille', such institutional buildings are a clear public statement of the endorsement of these new social values. The quality of the design of individual buildings on the campus of Laval University, in addition to the fact that most of them have come down to the present with only minor alterations, make this ensemble worthy of consideration.
