As part of the Centennial Campaign from 1987-1990, McMaster’s Faculty of Business set out to attract philanthropic support for both a new building and an ambitious reinvention of the faculty’s mandate. When Canadian entrepreneur and philanthropist Michael G. DeGroote became the project’s lead donor in 1987 and agreed to support the faculty’s subsequent fundraising efforts, the goals were within reach.

The new building opened in 1992 as the faculty changed its name to the Michael G. DeGroote School of Business, becoming one of the first named business schools in Canada. Approximately a decade later, both the building and school became known as the DeGroote School of Business. The donors to the campaign – including individuals, corporations, foundations and a number of members of the DeGroote family – are recognized on the school’s donor wall.

The McMaster Museum of Art – which moved to its current world-class facility in the Alvin A. Lee Building in 1994 – has long depended on the generosity of private donors to build one of the great university-based art collections in Canada. The nearly 6,000 works in the museum’s permanent collection feature particular strengths in early twentieth-century German Expressionist art, contemporary Canadian art, and modern and contemporary European art. Donations of both cash and art have driven the growth and quality of the permanent collection – most notably through the visionary donation from Hamilton businessman Herman H. Levy.

While the McMaster Museum of Art was founded in 1967, its profile and capacity were redefined significantly with the opening of a new facility in renovated space in Mills Memorial Library on June 11, 1994. In 1999, the University renamed the building that is the museum’s home in honour of former McMaster president and vice-chancellor Alvin A. Lee who has long been one of the McMaster Museum of Art’s strongest advocates.
The donor wall in the museum recognizes donors – both individuals and organizations – who contributed to the museum’s endowment and the construction of the Alvin A. Lee Building.

In 1994, the McMaster Library unveiled a donor wall in Mills Memorial Library to recognize donors who had contributed $500 or more to the Library in the Centennial Campaign. Subsequently, more than 125 additional names have been added to the wall to recognize gifts of that level following the campaign.

In 1998, McMaster University launched what was, at the time, the largest fundraising campaign in its history. Called “Changing Tomorrow Today,” the campaign had an ambitious goal of $100 million. The campaign chair was future McMaster chancellor Lynton “Red” Wilson ’62 ’95 (honorary), who worked closely with then president & vice-chancellor Peter George and Roger Trull ’79, then McMaster’s vice-president of university advancement, to raise private support for the University both in Canada and abroad.

The key campaign themes included student learning, connecting research and teaching, and recruiting and retaining the best professors. When the Changing Tomorrow Today campaign closed in October 2001, it had raised more than $128 million against its original goal while leveraging an additional $181 million in new government support and another $83 million in sponsored research funding.

By the time McMaster’s Board of Governors approved a fundraising campaign to attract more than $10 million in private support to what was then called the University Centre Project, the centre had been the dream of more than a decade’s worth of students. In fact, in 1987, McMaster’s full-time undergraduate students – the members of the McMaster Students Union – committed to a $15 annual levy to help fund the project and inspire greater support for the University Centre within the McMaster family.

The University’s fundraising campaign reached its goal in 1998 with scores of alumni, corporations and organizations making gifts to the McMaster University Student Centre (MUSC). This list includes significant gifts from the McMaster Association of Part-time Students (MAPS), the McMaster Alumni Association, the Donaldson family and $6 million in total from the DeGroote family, the single gift often cited as the turning point that enabled the project to move ahead.

In 2004, the University launched the Athletics & Recreation Centre and Stadium campaign with legendary entrepreneur and basketball official Ron Foxcroft guiding the campaign as chairman.

The campaign attracted broad alumni and public support as reflected in the robust roster of supporters on the campaign donor wall. Three supporters, however, stand out. Ron Joyce’s gift of $10 million to the construction of Ron Joyce Stadium is the largest ever gift to a Canadian university athletics department. David Braley gave $5 million to the construction of the David Braley Athletic Centre and, in a separate gift, contributed $1 million to the centre’s sport medicine and rehabilitation centre which now also bears the Braley name. Finally, McMaster’s full-time undergraduate students voted in favour of a levy on their fees, a levy that will eventually contribute $20 million to the project. The result is that the David Braley Athletic Centre, which opened in 2006, and Ron Joyce Stadium, which opened in 2008, form one of the most advanced university athletics and recreation complexes in the country.

The Ron Joyce Centre in Burlington is the home of the MBA and executive education programs of the DeGroote School of Business. The centre offers 90,000 square feet of state-of-the-art classrooms, meeting spaces and lecture facilities, all within a highly sustainable design that received LEED Gold certification.

Opened in September 2010, the Ron Joyce Centre is the result of a partnership between McMaster, the City of Burlington and Halton Region. The project also attracted a significant number of private contributions including the $10 million gift from Ron Joyce that named the centre.

The Engineering Technology Building (ETB) – a 125,000 square foot facility located near the University’s Main Street entrance – is home to programs in emerging areas of both study and research including the School of Biomedical Engineering, the Walter G. Booth School of Engineering Practice and the McMaster-Mohawk Bachelor of Technology Partnership. The award-winning design (Urban Design and Architecture Awards’ Award of Excellence) meets LEED environmental standards and features innovative elements such as the elliptical classroom.

The donor wall in the ETB is, itself, an outstanding piece of design and recognizes the individuals, corporate and organizational donors – and one reunion class, the Class of 1962 Mechanical Engineering – that contributed gifts to the building’s construction.

Alumni Memorial Hall, the building that is home to the University Club (formerly the Faculty Club), was built on the strength of donations from alumni in the 1940’s and 1950’s. In 2009 and 2010, a group of nearly 60 donors gave to support the rejuvenation and preservation of the building’s historic and unique Great Hall. Used for both daily food service and events, the Great Hall is home to the iconic Moulton Window.

As part of the Centennial Campaign from 1987-1990, private donors along with what was then the Ministry of Colleges and Universities of the Province of Ontario contributed to the construction of new classroom and laboratory space to be added at the southwest corner of the John Hodgins Engineering Building. Opened in 1991, the Science & Engineering Building is more commonly called the JHE Annex. The donor wall recognizes pacesetting donors to the campaign.
