The British Columbia Institute of Technology and McMaster University have both recently received financial boosts toward student spaces. BCIT unveiled the Scotiabank Lounge, which was developed thanks to a $500K donation from Scotiabank and will serve as a collaborative learning space for students. McMaster received $1.5M from Candu Energy to renovate its manufacturing hub into a proposed Integrated Cornerstone Design Projects Studio, which will provide a space for first-year engineering students to create and collaborate. “This gift is truly transformative,” said McMaster Dean of Engineering Heather Sheardown. “It allows us to create an environment that perfectly supports our innovative curriculum, challenging students to develop creative solutions for a brighter future.”
