Often referred to as "the Janson", in reference to the auditorium to which it gives access, Building J on the Solbosch campus first housed the "Maison des étudiants" erected in 1928 facing Avenue Fr. Roosevelt, before gradually being reserved for various teaching functions with the addition of the "Paul-Émile Janson" auditorium in 1958. Classified as a heritage monument in 2017, this building complex now requires in-depth restoration and requalification.
