The Macdonald Campus landscape is constantly evolving, with renovations and construction projects currently in progress to optimize teaching and research facilities as we embark on our third century.
Community Engagement Centre
The Macdonald Campus Farm is leading efforts to provide the community with greater knowledge and awareness about food, agriculture, and the environment.
Construction Projects
A total of 15 buildings will be renovated to implement critical – and long-deferred – upgrades needed to bring the campus facilities up to modern building codes and standards.
Completed Projects
Campus Energy Project
The Macdonald Campus Power House* integrates current and new energy technologies. Our goal is to achieve 90% renewable energy, to reduce CO2 emissions and substantially lower operating costs.
*This project was awarded an Honourable Mention in the 2018 Concours Énergia (Catégorie — Bâtiment existant — Secteur institutionnel) by the Association Québecoise pour la Maitrise de l'Énergie.
Farm Road Project
Thanks to a generous donation by the Class of 1963 the farm road entrances to Macdonald are spruced up by newly planted trees and beautiful landmark boulders.
