History
The building is named for Henry Foss Hall, president of Sir George Williams University from 1956 to 1962.[1]
It was designed by architecture firm Ross, Fish, Duschene and Barrett, which hired James A. M. K. O'Beirne, to draw up the plans. It was inaugurated on 14 October 1966.[1]
In 1994-95, the building's exterior , having been damaged by pollution and the elements over the decades, was cleaned and re-painted.[4]
It was the scene for the Sir George Williams Computer Riot in 1969 and the Concordia University Netanyahu Riot in 2002.
