Slated for completion in September 2022, the project will add a dozen new classrooms to the business school as well as new spaces for study, group work, student advising, food services and events.

Haskayne dean Jim Dewald said: “A celebration today to mark this groundbreaking would have been a fitting acknowledgement of the dedication and commitment of our students, faculty, staff, advisers, alumni, donors, and university leaders who have done a lot of heavy lifting to make this vision come to life.”

The school expects to have 4,000 students across Bachelor of Commerce, MBA, Master of Management, PhD and DBA programmes by 2022.

Dewald added: “This is a critical time for the school to expand in support of our strategic growth and bold vision and will add significant capacity for unparalleled learning, innovative research and meaningful community engagement.
