Lorne M. Trottier

The Lorne M. Trottier Building for Electrical, Computer, and Software Engineering is dedicated to information technology. It has laboratories equipped with the latest equipment to conduct experiments in analog and digital design, signal processing, embedded design, mixed signal testing, communication systems, software engineering validation and development. The presence of close to 500 Pentium 4 workstations ensures that our students have ample resources to work with. Intelligent classrooms equipped with dual projector displays, DVD units, and document cameras further enhance the teaching of material to the students and help in their better understanding of the subject. McGill’s wireless network completely covers the building so students with laptops have easy access to the Internet.

Break out rooms in the building provide students the opportunity to hold project meetings, group study sessions, and personal interaction with professors. The building cafeteria is a great place to meet friends, discuss course work, complete assignments, or simply to have a cup of coffee. The ExCESS student lounge provides our students with a relaxed atmosphere where they can play foosball, surf the web, or catch some shut eye.
