The Memorial Gates at the University of Saskatchewan were built between 1927 and 1928, and are both a war memorial and a ceremonial gate marking the original main entrance to the university.  The gates were designed by David R. Brown, of the architectural firm Brown and Vallance, the same firm that designed most of the building on the U of S campus in its early years.  In 2006, concerns were raised about the condition of the gates, due to stone spalling and mortar degradation.  Andrew Wallace, at that time working on staff at the University of Saskatchewan, authored a report on the physical condition & heritage significance of the monument.  Stone restoration and mortar repointing work resulting from the report was delayed for several years due to funding constraints, but was eventually completed in 2014.  The gates include carved stone tablets on which are inscribed the names of the students and faculty who lost their lives in the First World War.  Research by Professor Emeritus Michael Hayden in the early 2000’s revealed that two names had been missed during the original construction of the gates. As part of our project, the two missing names were added to the memorial.
