Knightstone has partnered with McMaster University to assist in the goal of providing more residence space for first–year students. The partnership will see a 1,500 bed two phased mixed-use 590,000 square foot development  which will consist of residential, academic and administrative uses. “The project will create an outstanding residence for students,” said McMaster Provost & Vice President (Academic) David Wilkinson.
The building plan calls for a multi-storey structure on Main Street West which then is tiered back toward Traymore creating an elegant architectural design. Our team’s focus is to provide an educentric facility where students can be comfortable, energized and be successful.
While the building will be developed in partnership with Knightstone, the residence itself will be run by the University as part of its residence system.
