For decades, Paul Desmarais Sr.'s efforts to help provide better facilities at the University of Ottawa have been a cornerstone of the school's growth.
Now, an $80-million building, named in honour of the Canadian business leader, has become a focal point of the university and a cornerstone of its further expansion plans.
The University of Ottawa officially opened the Desmarais Building yesterday.
The 41,800-square-metre building was made possible by a $15-million donation from Desmarais, 80.
The Desmarais Building will be the new home for the school's Telfer School of Management, and will provide extra space for several student groups and campus organizations.
It will be used by more than 6,000 students daily.
