The Ronald D. Schmeichel Building for Entrepreneurship and Innovation is officially open for business, welcoming all aspiring innovators from across Western's campus, providing the resources to turn ideas into action and challenges into opportunities.
The new state-of-the-art facility is named in recognition of a $10-million gift from Western law graduate and Canadian entrepreneur and financier Ron Schmeichel, JD'95.
The 100,000-square-foot building houses the largest maker space in Canada available to all students across all faculties, as well as staff, faculty and alumni interested in inventing and sharing innovative ideas.
