Directions

Here you can find directions on how to get to our facilities.

HINT: Because McGill’s downtown campus is located at the base of Mont Royal, “north” is always easy to determine - it’s simply in the direction of “uphill”.

McConnell is located on the west side of University Street, at the intersection with Milton Street. The entrance is on the other side of the building: from University Street turn west to Milton Street and walk through Milton Gates; the entrance will be on your left.


Trottier is also on the west side of University Street, a little north of McConnell, at the intersection with Prince Arthur Street. The entrance is on University Street.

The easiest way is to get to McGill from the airport is by taxi. It costs around $33.00 Canadian (+ tip) to downtown. Travel time is 15 to 35 minutes, depending on time of day.

It is also possible to take the Aerobus airport shuttle service; it goes from Trudeau International Airport to the Central Bus Station and takes 25 to 45 minutes, depending on time of day. The bus costs $13.00 Canadian for one-way and $22.75 for round-trip (taxes included). The buses go every 20 minutes.
