History

• UQAM was created on 9 April 1969 by the Government of Quebec, and its founding mission was to open university education to the French-speaking working classes who had been largely excluded from it.魁北克大学蒙特利尔分校于1969年4月9日由魁北克省政府设立，其建校使命是向此前基本被排除在大学之外的操法语劳动阶层开放高等教育。
• Before its creation, access to higher education in Montreal was limited for francophone students, and the new university's policy of admitting adults with relevant professional experience widened its intake.建校之前，蒙特利尔法语学生的升学机会有限；新校实行承认相关职业经历、录取成人学生的政策，扩大了生源范围。
• The university is a constituent of the Université du Québec, a network founded in 1968 to coordinate higher education across Quebec's regions, yet it holds a relative independence that lets it elect its own rector.学校是成立于1968年的魁北克大学网络成员，该网络旨在协调魁北克各地区的高等教育，但学校仍享有相对独立性，可自行选举校长。
• One of its founding institutions, the Collège Sainte-Marie, was a Jesuit classical college that had operated in Montreal since the mid-nineteenth century.创始机构之一的圣玛丽学院是一所耶稣会古典学院，自19世纪中叶起在蒙特利尔办学。
• Construction of the new campus began in mid-1970 in the Saint-Jacques neighbourhood, on land that included the condemned Saint-Jacques Cathedral.新校区的建设于1970年中期在圣雅各街区动工，用地包括已被判定拆除的圣雅各大教堂。
• The cathedral congregation moved to the Chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, and the architect Dimitri Dimakopoulos grafted the university buildings around the surviving nave wall.教堂信众迁往卢尔德圣母礼拜堂，建筑师迪米特里·迪马科普洛斯则将大学建筑嵌入残存的教堂中殿墙体周围。
• Dimakopoulos preserved the bell tower and its gateway overlooking Saint Catherine Street, and the remains are classified as historic monuments by the Quebec government.迪马科普洛斯保留了俯瞰圣凯瑟琳街的钟楼与门楼，这些遗迹被魁北克政府列为历史古迹。
• The new campus was inaugurated in September 1979, a decade after the university's first classes, on the site of the former cathedral close.新校区于1979年9月落成启用，距学校首次开课已过去十年。

• After the crisis the Ministry of Education, Sport and Leisure required a recovery plan, and a report commissioned from PricewaterhouseCoopers recommended cost-cutting measures to bring the university's finances back into balance.危机之后，魁北克教育、体育与娱乐部要求学校提交复苏计划，学校委托普华永道撰写的报告建议削减开支，使财务恢复平衡。
• The overruns were concentrated in the Science Complex, about 100 million dollars over budget, and in the Îlot Voyageur project, whose cost rose from 226 million to more than 400 million dollars after the government withdrew.超支集中在两处：科学综合体超出预算约1亿加元，伊洛瓦亚日项目则在政府退出后由2.26亿加元升至逾4亿加元。
• The Quebec government bought back the Îlot Voyageur in November 2010, closing a project whose cost had risen from 226 million to more than 400 million dollars.魁北克省政府于2010年11月回购伊洛瓦亚日项目，结束了这项造价从2.26亿加元升至逾4亿加元的工程。
