On 7 February 1976, the building housing the Departments of Mathematics, Political Science and Economics of the Royal Military College, Kingston was named after Major-General Sir E. Percy C. Girouard. An RMC graduate in the Class of 1886, he was commissioned in the Royal Engineers and was appointed the Director of Railways in the Egyptian Army. He became President of the Egyptian State Railways, subsequently Director of Railways to the British Forces in South Africa, Commissioner of Railways, South Africa, High Commissioner and Commander-in-Chief of Northern Nigeria, and Governor and Commander-in-Chief, East Africa Protectorate. Connects to 24029-015.
The renovation of the 40-year-old Sawyer-Girouard academic complex at Kingston’s Royal Military College (RMC) started in 2010. RMC also used the opportunity to make other updates, such as new roofing, flooring, a new greenhouse and observatory.
