===Libraries, archives and galleries===
{{Main|Concordia University Library}}
Concordia University has three main library locations. The R. Howard Webster Library is located in the J.W. McConnell Building on the Sir George Williams Campus and the Georges P. Vanier Library is located on the Loyola Campus. On September 2, 2014, the Library opened the Grey Nuns Reading Room, a silent study space for Concordia students located in the former Chapel of the Invention of the Holy Cross. The Concordia Library houses several special and unique collections including the Azrieli Holocaust Collection and the Irving Layton Collection.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://library.concordia.ca/find/special-collections/|title=Special Collections · Concordia University Library|website=library.concordia.ca}}</ref> Most special collections are located in the Vanier Library. The Library also maintains the university's institutional repository, Spectrum.<ref>{{cite web |author=Canada |url=http://spectrum.library.concordia.ca/ |title=Welcome to Spectrum: Concordia University Research Repository&nbsp;— Spectrum: Concordia University Research Repository |publisher=Spectrum.library.concordia.ca |access-date=November 20, 2010}}</ref> The Library is a member of the Canadian Association of Research Libraries.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.carl-abrc.ca/en/about-carl/carl-members.html|title = Membership |publisher = Carl-abrc.ca|date = January 25, 2016|access-date = January 25, 2016|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141208005827/http://www.carl-abrc.ca/en/about-carl/carl-members.html|archive-date = December 8, 2014|df = mdy-all}}</ref> The Library also has partnerships with the Canadian Research Knowledge Network and the Data Liberation Initiative.<ref name="partnerships">{{cite web|title=Memberships and collaborations|url=https://library.concordia.ca/about/memberships/|work=Concordia University Library}}</ref>

Concordia's Henry F. Hall Building houses the Leonard and Bina Ellen Art Gallery. Samuel Schecter, an art enthusiast and businessman, set up two funds in 1962 to be used for the purchase of Canadian art at [[Sir George Williams University]] and at [[Loyola College (Montreal)]]. When Sir George Williams University and Loyola College merged to form Concordia in 1974, their respective art collections were also combined. The collection of the Leonard and Bina Ellen Gallery consists of 1,800 paintings, sculptures, prints, photographs and videos, many of the works by 20th-century Canadian artists.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ellengallery.concordia.ca/?lang=en|title=Galerie Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery|access-date=August 6, 2019}}</ref>

Concordia's Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Complex houses the FOFA Gallery, a primary venue for exhibiting works by faculty, students and alumni of the Faculty of Fine Arts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.concordia.ca/content/concordia/en/finearts/facilities/fofa-gallery/about.html|title=About FOFA|website=concordia.ca|access-date=December 5, 2019}}{{Dead link|date=December 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

===New buildings===
In 2001, Concordia embarked on a mission to develop and expand the quality of the downtown campus, and to revive the west end in Montreal.

The university also acquired the historic [[Grey Nuns]] [[motherhouse|Mother House]] near its Sir George Williams Campus,<ref>{{cite news|first=Ingrid |last=Peretz |title=Montreal nuns moving — with saint's remains |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081223.wnuns23/BNStory/National/home |work=[[The Globe and Mail]] |date=December 24, 2008 |access-date=December 24, 2008 |location=Toronto |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081225231506/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081223.wnuns23/BNStory/National/home |archive-date=December 25, 2008}}</ref> for $18&nbsp;million. Built in 1871, it would alone double the size of the current downtown campus. From 2007 to 2022, the university moved into the building in four separate phases. The large property will house the Faculty of Fine Arts and possibly the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, and other departments. Concordia Residence Life currently houses nearly 250 students each year in the Grey Nuns Building. The dorm rooms are among the largest in the country, as many of the rooms have been transformed from when the section of the Grey Nuns Building was occupied by the Grey Nuns. The site was designated a [[National Historic Sites of Canada|National Historic Site of Canada]] in 2011.<ref>{{DFHD|13051|Mother House of the Grey Nuns of Montreal|May 2, 2012}}</ref>

[[File:Concordia EV Building.jpg|thumb|The Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Integrated Complex on the corner of [[Saint Catherine Street]] and [[Guy Street]]]]
The Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Integrated Complex (EV Building) at [[Saint Catherine Street]] and [[Guy Street]] was opened in September 2005. The building is directly connected to the Guy–Concordia Metro station and also houses Le Gym, a facility of Concordia's Department of Recreation and Athletics. Across the street, the 100-year-old [[TD Canada Trust]] building was donated to Concordia in 2005 by the [[Toronto-Dominion Bank]].

Construction of the new John Molson Building (MB), the home of the John Molson School of Business located on the corner of Guy Street and De Maisonneuve Boulevard West, began in February 2007. At a ceremony at Concordia on October 30, 2006, the [[Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sports (Quebec)|Quebec Minister of Education, Recreation and Sports]], [[Jean-Marc Fournier]], announced an investment of $60 million towards the construction of the new building. The government's $60 million represented about half of the total construction costs. Construction started on January 22, 2006, and the building was completed and opened in September 2009. The 15-story building now houses the John Molson School's about 9,100 full- and part-time students<ref name="ConcordiaUniversityFastFacts"/> under the same roof for the first time. The departments of contemporary dance, theatre and music also moved into the new MB Building. It is connected to the EV Building by a tunnel under Guy Street.

In April 2010, a 120-metre tunnel completed the underground connections of the Guy-Concordia Metro station with the Henry F. Hall Building and the J.W. McConnell Building.<ref>{{cite news|title=Concordia's new tunnel is about ready|url=http://blog.fagstein.com/2010/04/07/concordia-tunnel/|publisher=Fagstein|date=April 7, 2010}}</ref>

Concordia opened the Applied Science Hub<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.concordia.ca/content/concordia/en/next-gen/applied-science-hub.html|title=Applied Science Hub|website=concordia.ca}}</ref> on the Loyola Campus in December 2020. The $63.1-million state-of-the-art facility — built thanks to $36.7 million in support from the Government of Canada and the Government of Quebec — was strategically designed to enable interdisciplinary collaboration and research between faculty and students in the Faculty of Arts and Science, Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science as well as the District 3 Innovation Centre.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Concordia University|date=December 1, 2020|title='A major nexus of transdisciplinary collaboration': $63-million Applied Science Hub opens for research on Concordia's Loyola Campus|url=https://www.concordia.ca/next-gen/applied-science-hub.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125023154/https://www.concordia.ca/next-gen/applied-science-hub.html |archive-date=January 25, 2021 }}</ref>

===Quartier Concordia===
[[Quartier Concordia]] is a neighbourhood redevelopment project centred around Concordia University's Sir George Williams Campus in downtown Montreal. Bordered by [[Sherbrooke Street]] to the north, Saint Mathieu Street to the west, [[René Lévesque Boulevard]] to the south and [[Bishop Street]] to the east,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://buildings.concordia.ca/sgw/quartier.php |title=Quartier Concordia&nbsp;— Concordia University |access-date=September 25, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080916094900/http://buildings.concordia.ca/sgw/quartier.php |archive-date=September 16, 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref> the district is designed to be a green urban campus that will improve the use and quality of public places and spaces, student life on campus and transportation.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.ledevoir.com/2006/05/20/109488.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130127161543/http://www.ledevoir.com/2006/05/20/109488.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 27, 2013 |title=Urbanisme — Un quartier Concordia au centre-ville |date=May 21, 2006 |newspaper=[[Le Devoir]] |author=Harvey, Réginald }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.concordia.ca/content/concordia/en/about/quartier-concordia.html|title=Quartier Concordia|website=concordia.ca}}</ref>

As part of the redesign, the small [[Norman Bethune Square]] was redesigned and enlarged. Sidewalks in the area were also widened, with additional trees.<ref name="Bethune">{{cite news |url=http://spacingmontreal.ca/2008/02/19/city-unveils-new-plans-for-norman-bethune-square/ |title=Norman Bethune Square's makeover confirmed |last=DeWolf |first=Christopher |date=February 19, 2008 |work=Spacing Montreal |access-date=May 2, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090505035936/http://spacingmontreal.ca/2008/02/19/city-unveils-new-plans-for-norman-bethune-square |archive-date=May 5, 2009 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Since 2010, a tunnel links the university's Henry F. Hall and J.W. McConnell buildings with the Guy-Concordia Metro station.<ref>{{Citation |title=Concordia's new Hall building to metro tunnel |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibI60iBMBTw |access-date=2023-12-21 |language=en}}</ref> However, a project to create a green space on [[Mackay Street]] was put on hold.<ref name="Mackay">{{cite web |url=http://news.concordia.ca/notices/014675.shtml |title=University puts greening of Mackay on hold |work=News and Events |publisher=Concordia University |access-date=May 2, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090517012602/http://news.concordia.ca/notices/014675.shtml |archive-date=May 17, 2009}}</ref>
