Loyola Residence Tower

It is notable as the home of the Burke-Gaffney Observatory, part of the university's Department of Astronomy and Physics.

[2] The building also houses the St. Mary's University Art Gallery, which is situated on the ground floor.

[3] In early 2023, the south-facing concrete façade of the tower was replaced with solar panels in order to reduce the university's carbon footprint.

Retrofitted at a cost of C$8.5 million, the installation is expected to generate around 100,000 kWh yearly, and makes the Loyola Residence the tallest solar-integrated building in North America.
