Owned and operated by the Students' Union, SUB houses all of our services and the majority of our businesses as a hub of student activity.

During the Fall and Winter terms, SUB is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week (except the holiday period between terms). During the Spring and Summer months, SUB is open 7AM to 11PM, seven days a week (except holidays). The space gives students a place to study or relax for as long as they choose, an essential service in order to create a thriving campus environment.

History of SUB

SUB has continually grown to meet student needs, housing everything from an art gallery to a barbershop in its near-40-year history, seeing its fair share of changes as the years go by:

• Opened in 1967, the building was featured in Time Magazine as the largest and most complete student space in Canada.
• The design, construction, and financing of SUB were arranged entirely by the students' own enterprise.
• The large fire pit and flame, created by Jonathan Wood, inspired the design of our current flame logo, depicting the mission and spirit of the Students' Union.
• The cast-iron mural on the south side of the building was created by the late Jordi Bonet, an award-winning Montreal artist. Eight bowling lanes and six sheets of curling ice originally called the basement home.
