Class of '96 Stained Glass Window


The Class of 1996 Tri-College Crest Stained Class Window would be installed in a six-pane window at the west end of the second floor of Yeo Hall between the New Gym and the Cadet Mess and Recreation Centre (CMRC).

In black and white you can see the Artist Design Concept of the three coat of arms of each of the three colleges.

The window is in a distinct and highly visible location. Anyone moving between the New Gym and the CMRC will see the window. During the afternoon and evening, the warm glow of the western sunset will light up the colourful glass.

Sandpiper Studios in Belleville, Ontario indicated they can perform the handpainting of the coat of arms on the glass and then cut them to fit inside the six curved windows. Sandpiper Studios has completed numerous stained glass restoration projects for Queen's University Grant Hall and St. George's Cathedral (downtown Kingston).

Already several classmates have been involved in preparing the initial design of the window and tracking down historically accurate copies of the three college coat of arms from archives and historical offices in Ottawa.

Stats 96


Approximately 300 of us graduated from RMC in May 1996. Due to circumstances at the time, we did not donate a class gift to the college.

This being our 10th anniversary year we are trying to raise sufficient funds to complete a tri-college stained glass window as our Class of 1996 Gift, approximately $15,000.

Any questions or comments regarding the Class of '96 Stained Glass Window Class Gift Project, contact Jeff "Zoomer" Szumlanski @ engrn@cogeco.ca
