The Catholic Commerical Academy of Montreal was established by the Roman Catholic School Commissioners of the city of Montreal in 1854. It was originally called the école Doran after its first principal, William Doran. The école Doran was the first Catholic school in Montreal to be run by lay teachers, rather than clergy. It was renamed The Catholic Commerical Academy in 1860, when M.U.E Archambeault became the principal. Archambault was born May 27, 1834 in L'Assomption, Lower Canada. He married Azilda Robitaille in 1860, they had eleven children and he died March 20, 1904. On 19 June 1872, the Catholic Commercial Academy of Montreal opened a new building. The commissioners 'wanted to show the great value they set upon [commercial and industrial] education by dedicating this magnificent building to it and by choosing a man of talent and high character to direct it, one of [their] most estimable fellow citizens, M. Archambault.' The building, erected on a promontory in English neo-Gothic style, would thereafter be known as the Académie du Plateau. In October 1873 plans for a scientific and industrial course at the Académie du Plateau were accepted by the new minister of public instruction, Gédéon Ouimet. The école Polytechnique of Montreal would be the result, with Archambeault as its principal' ('Archambeault, Urgel-Eugéne', Dictionary of Canadian Biography). Between 1873 and 1956 the building was used as the administrative centre for the Montréal Catholic School Commission. The building was demolished in 1958 for the construction of the Place-des-Arts.
