Dentistry

The intent of both client and architect was to have a "no nonsense" building for clinical research and teaching. Prime concern was with provision of services both human and mechanical. The main space is the two-story dental clinic providing sixty patient stations. Adjoining this is the clinic waiting area with its own one and one-half story entrance lobby at 777 McDermot Avenue. The third story houses programs investigating human dental growth and the graduate orthodontics unit.

The sheer walls of brick, glass, and metal of this "L"-shaped building are quite unornamented. The architectural interest is in the pattern and proportion of the building units of window and wall and on the contrast of texture and colours. The main facade is along Bannatyne Avenue and features the date stone block of tyndall stone and a metal canopy over the entrance. This building is one of the most representative examples in Winnipeg of the international style of architecture of the fifties.
