Open in January 2018, the Donald E. Armstrong Building is the new home for our MBA & specialized Masters programs acting as a link to industry for research & training.
To be the best possible catalyst for our students, we have creating a new home for the MBA program immediately to the north (formely the University Bookstore) and adjoined to the Bronfman Building. This new home has enabled us to provide:
- Better, more personalized and integrated services for our students;
- Dedicated teaching and learning space to meet the needs of our integrated and international curriculum;
- A hub for industry collaboration, research and outreach: flexible and distance-learning capable spaces to accommodate entrepreneurship, sustainable development and health management activities;
- Leading-edge technology and the environment to succeed
Our new home:
- Offers 48,666 Gross (23,000 Net) Sq. & has been completely redesigned inside and out to be student-centric
- Providing a unique boutique-like home for the MBA
- Seamlessly links between both buildings through the concourse (basement), ensuring the entire Desautels Faculty remains connected
- Creates a beautiful new exterior that draws attention from various perspectives (including from Sherbrooke Street)
- Complements and enhances the existing Bronfman Building (Phase 2)
Our MBA students require new state-of-the art, dedicated facilities that will allow us to provide better, more tailored and integrated services, cutting-edge technology, innovative meeting spaces and classrooms for our MBAs. This infrastructure will reflect our premium global brand image.
To create a new home for the MBA program we require:
Interior Renovations
- Projected Expenses: Approximately $15,000,000
Exterior Renovations
- Projected Expenses: Approximately $5,000,000
