Sir George Williams was the first Canadian university that offered a full range of university programs to evening students. In the late-1960s, Sir George Williams University severed ties, financial and otherwise, with the YMCA The university operated in various annexes throughout downtown Montreal, but its rapid expansion led to the construction of a new building to accommodate all of its activities. In 1956, Sir George Williams moved into the newly constructed Norris Building. Even as the new building was opened, it was evident it would not be large enough, and increasingly heavy enrolment forced the university into more annexes. Planning began for the construction of a new and larger build

ing, and in 1966, the Henry F. Hall Building was opened on De Maisonneuve Boulevard West. Meanwhile, in 1963 the university implemented a faculty structure that separated the combined Faculty of Arts, Science, and Commerce into three distinct faculties and created the new Faculty of Engineering. Increased enrolment and larger government grants allowed Sir George Williams to hire more full-time faculty members. Many disciplines began to offer more specializations, and the university added master's and doctoral programs to the growing list of majors and honors.
