“The Architecture Café, a clandestine canteen run by architecture students, has fed an entire generational cohort at McGill. Since 1993, students from all faculties flocked to this cozy 600-square-foot den. It’s an informal hangout and grassroots café hawking Fair Trade coffee and light snacks.
This year, the Architecture Café has become a victim of its own success. Clutching their own mugs, the long lines of students snaking up the stairs in the Macdonald-Harrington building may have been the last straw. McGill’s administration wants the café closed–now. It’s favouring big-business food service contractors and squeezing out the most successful of the few student-run businesses on campus.”
