During the Second World War, the Ladies College facilities were used by the Canadian Military.

The college was re-established in 1914 in a large building designed by Edgar Lewis Horwood located at 268 First Ave.

The university used the facilities until it moved to its present site beside the Rideau River in 1959.

The Ottawa Board of Education used the building for offices until 1998 when it was sold to a developer to create condominiums.

Courses included languages, mathematics, science, athletics, handicrafts, and household arts such as practical cooking, needlework and sewing.
