Allan Memorial Institute

The Allan Memorial Institute (AMI; Institut Allan Memorial), also known colloquially as "the Allan", is a former psychiatric hospital and research institute located at 1025 Pine Avenue West in Montreal, Canada.

It is situated on the slope of Mount Royal on the McGill University downtown campus in what was the Golden Square Mile of Montreal. It is named in memory of Sir Hugh Allan, whose former mansion, Ravenscrag, it occupies.

The Allan Memorial's emergency room and use as an active psychiatric hospital ceased in 2015, when a new, modern psychiatry department was opened at the Montreal General Hospital.

The building currently houses outpatient psychiatric services for Montreal General Hospital, part of the McGill University Health Centre.

The institute is also known for its role in the CIA's Project MKUltra, an initiative to develop drug-induced mind control. MKUltra experimentation was undertaken at the institute between 1957 and 1964 by its founding director, Donald Ewen Cameron.
