The Allan Memorial Institute (AMI; French: 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, Quebec.[1]
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.[3]
It currently houses outpatient psychiatric services for Montreal General Hospital, part of the McGill University Health Centre.
Although currently a respected institution, the Institute is also known for its dark 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.
