Facilities
After purchasing the former Seagram Museum from the City of Waterloo, CIGI moved into the facility in 2003. Designed by Barton Myers Associates, Inc., the Governor General Medal–winning building houses CIGI’s main offices for staff and fellows, and provides a number of unique spaces for public events and workshops. Since 2010, the building also contains the CIGI Broadcast Studio, available to news organizations for television and radio interviews of CIGI experts. The studio is connected worldwide via fibre optic connection and is equipped for live double-enders.
CIGI also hosts the John Holmes Library, which began as the library of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs (CIIA) in 1928. The library’s namesake was instrumental in developing it into an unmatched specialized collection on Canadian foreign policy. The library moved to CIGI in 2007, where it is now available for use by staff and visitors at CIGI.

—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
