Desautels expanding into Bookstore space

The Desautels Faculty of Management will take over the adjacent McGill Bookstore at 3420 McTavish St. sometime in 2016, providing a new home for the Faculty’s MBA programs, which will be moved out of the overcrowded Bronfman Building.

... “This will provide us with an additional 22,000 net square feet and will liberate much needed space in the Bronfman Building,” said Interim Dean of Management Morty Yalovsky in a message to the Faculty. “The details of all the reallocations and redesigns will be finalized in the coming months as we complete comprehensive internal consultations with student, professor, staff and program representatives.

The funds for the project will come largely from philanthropy. Marcel Desautels, for whom the Faculty is named, has already kicked in an additional gift and has rearranged some of his earlier donations to give the fundraising drive a major boost.
