This two-storey building on the Fort Garry Campus of the University of Manitoba was designed by architects Arthur James “Jim” Donahue (1917-1996) and Doug Gillmour for the firm Smith Carter and Katelnikoff. It was built in 1959 to house the Faculty of Architecture. Named in commemoration of architectural educator and Faculty Dean John A. Russell, it received a Preservation Award from Heritage Winnipeg in 2008 and became a municipally-designated historic building in February 2019.
