The Annex

Description of the annex

The Lady Meredith Annex is a common meeting place for members of the McGill Medical Student’s Society (MSS). It is a place where students can study, organize meetings and activities or just unwind and relax. It is meant to be a welcoming and safe space. Every med student may access it with their student ID from 8 AM to 6 PM everyday.

Special thanks to…

Incredible effort was required to open the Annex to students. The Medical Students’ Society would like to thank the Alumni, the Faculty of Medicine and McGill University, without whose support and generous gifts, the Lady Meredith Annex renovation project would not have been possible. We are grateful to benefit for their support.

*New feature of the Annex*

As a way to promote wellness, the MSS decided to add a wellness room at the Annex. It will include bean bags, cushions and floor mattresses so that med students can go there, relax, have a nap and take some time for themselves.

This room can be used for meetings and group projects. It is equipped with an iMac 27” 2013. It can hold approximately 20 people. The room can be booked through the booking form.(edit made April 2nd)

The living room is equipped with a 55″ TV with HDMI, VGA and Component inputs. The room also offers video game consoles, Netflix subscription, microwaves and a Foosball table. It can accommodate approximately 40 people. The room can be booked through the booking form.

Stay tuned; the room is currently being transformed by C-STAR.
