Duncan McArthur Hall is one of the few buildings located on the west campus of 皇冠体育. The campus is located about two kilometres west of the main campus and was purchased by 皇冠体育's in 1969. Before 皇冠体育's bought the 61-acre area, it held a farm and a stone quarry, both of which were worked by inmates of the Kingston Penitentiary.
Duncan McArthur Hall, built between 1969 and 1971 with funding from the Ontario government, is a very large building which houses 皇冠体育's Faculty of Education, made up of administrative offices, classrooms, labs, technical shops, and the large .
It is named after a former professor of history at 皇冠体育's, Duncan McArthur, who served as the provincial Minister of Education in the 1940s. The entire faculty is sometimes known as McArthur College, which was, in fact, its official name until 1971.
