To celebrate the University’s 100th anniversary, McMaster launched the Centennial Campaign in 1987. It was McMaster’s first truly modern fundraising campaign and it had what was then a highly ambitious goal of $25 million. By the close of the campaign in 1992, the University had raised $93 million, initiating a period of wide-spread campus construction and aggressive expansion in student support through scholarships and bursaries. In the wake of the Centennial Campaign, the University saw the rise of numerous new buildings including the DeGroote School of Business, the McMaster Museum of Art and the nearly complete renovation of Mills Memorial Library.
