McLean Hall was named in honour of the Rt. Rev. John McLean, the first Anglican bishop of Saskatchewan and founder of Emmanuel College. In 1883, McLean obtained from the dominion government a charter to establish the University of Saskatchewan in Prince Albert. Originally called Emmanuel College Residence and completed in 1963, it was designed by Webster, Forrester and Scott to accommodate 85 students, the College President and a caretaker. Located just north of the original Emmanuel College Building, plans called for the two building to be linked, this, however, was never completed. Renamed in 1975, it was leased initially by the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians and then purchased by the University of Saskatchewan in 1983. The stone clad three floor structure is now home to the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Native Studies, the Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program (SUNTEP) and the University Employees’ Union.
