Kathleen Ryan Hall. Completed in 1907, this building houses Queen's archives. It was originally used for medical purposes and was called the New Medical Building until the archives moved into it in 1981. It was named after Kathleen Ryan (BA 1926), an Ottawa businesswoman who donated the funds to renovate the building for its present purpose. During the Second World War, parts of the building were used by the Canadian military to carry out experiments in the use of anthrax and botulism in biological warfare, a fact that was kept secret for decades. It forms the north side of the Medical Quadrangle.
Kingston Field. This playing field is located directly in front of Kingston Hall. It is home turf for Queen's rugby team and is also used by students for general recreational purposes. It sits on top of Queen's underground parking lot. See also Lower Campus.
Kingston Hall. Completed in 1903, this hall houses Queen's language departments – Chinese, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Japanese and Italian. It was donated to Queen's by the City of Kingston to provide much-needed classroom and library space for the Faculty of arts and science. Officially named for the city, it was long known instead as the New Arts Building, to distinguish it from the Old Arts Building next door, now Theological Hall. Along with the attached grant hall, Kingston Hall served as a military hospital during the First World War. During the Second World War it was used as a training barracks. The building was seriously damaged by smoke and water damage in 1931 after a fire that began when a student left a smouldering cigarette butt in the women's washroom.
Kingston Hall Annex. Built in 1917 and torn down in 1925, this one-storey wooden building served as a kitchen and dining room for the military hospital that was located in grant hall and kingston hall during the First World War. After the war it served as a cafeteria for staff, students, and faculty and was commonly known as Marshall Reid's restaurant, after its proprietor. The annex was located between kingston hall and theological hall.
Kingston Institute of Pastoral Care. This ecumenical institute was founded in 1972 by six denominations – United, Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran and Roman Catholic – at the instigation of the Ecumenical Foundation of Canada. In 1976 it amalgamated with Queen's theological college. The institute provides supervised training in pastoral care and counselling to clergy, theological students, professionals from other helping disciplines, and laity. Training is provided in a variety of settings, including hospitals, prisons, and geriatric facilities as well as ordinary parishes. Since 1979, the institute has also provided some forms of pastoral counselling to members of the community, including individual, marriage and family counselling. The institute is led by a director and located in Theological Hall.
