Leadership is our enduring legacy. Our historic initiative, A Legacy of Leadership: The Campaign for Canisius College, will build on this rich tradition, and ensure an even brighter and more successful future for Canisius.
Develop the Interdisciplinary Science Center
The acquisition of the BlueCross BlueShield building and its development into an interdisciplinary science center will allow Canisius to capitalize on a core academic strength and stay on the cutting edge of undergraduate science education. It will also provide adequate parking in the adjacent parking pavilion for future generations of Canisius students.
Campaign Goal . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$47 million
Create the Library Learning Commons
To respond to the shift in the way students and faculty members use academic libraries, we propose to create a technology-based learning commons within the Bouwhuis Library.
