The Remington Group is pleased to announce a generous gift by the Rudolph P. Bratty Family Foundation towards the building of York University’s Markham Centre Campus.
The Bratty Family Foundation is donating $10 million towards York Region’s first public university campus. MCC, which officially broke ground in late September, is scheduled to open its doors in 2023.
“York University is incredibly grateful to the Bratty family and the R.P. Bratty Family Foundation for their generous gift toward the future Markham Centre Campus, and their visionary leadership as supporters of higher education,” said President & Vice-Chancellor Rhonda L. Lenton during a livestream of the announcement from the Toronto Marriott Markham on October 16, 2020.
“This contribution will not only support the MCC’s ability to provide a high-quality student learning experience in newly emerging and high demand programs but facilitate the research, innovation and creative activities contributing to York’s larger mission to build inclusive and resilient communities in one of the fastest-growing regions in Canada.”
In its first phase, the campus will offer up to 4,200 students a range of professionally relevant degree programs and micro-credentials with work-integrated learning opportunities within the community.
