Renovations
and Constructions
The College’s physical appearance evolved continuously throughout the years.
Construction of new buildings and facilities had to be undertaken if the
Eudist Fathers wanted to recrute more students. However, this was very
difficult since the institution suffered financial distress on numerous
occasions. In 1909, Father Chiasson decided to build a skating rink and
a gymnasium for the students, and on March 31, 1910, the College installed
its first telephone, which without a doubt improved its communication
ties with the outside world.

Father LeGresley was the Superior who foresaw the installation of
a heating system at Sainte-Anne. He removed the old stoves in 1932 to make
way for a new heating system. Father Jules Comeau bought a refrigerator
for the kitchen, a new washing machine in 1942, and in 1943, he purchased
a new furnace. It was onto Father Haché that the task befell to construct
a fireproof library, a chemistry laboratory, and a dormitory. The new
stone building was named l'Aile Haché (Haché wing)
in the honor of Father Haché, but was later renamed Édifice Dagnaud.
Father François d’Entremont was responsible for the construction
of the students' residence built in 1963 at a cost of $300, 000. It
can accommodate uo to 120 students and is still used today and it has been
named Résidence Beauséjour.
