Welcome to the Future of Business Education in Toronto
The Ivey Business School proudly introduces the new Donald K. Johnson Centre, a state-of-the-art facility set to redefine our downtown Toronto presence. Located in the heart of Canada’s business capital, this visionary space is made possible through a historic $30 million gift from Donald K. Johnson, MBA '63, HBA '60.
As a cornerstone for innovation, connection, and executive education, the Centre is designed to meet the needs of the modern business leader. Featuring cutting-edge classrooms, collaborative meeting spaces, and an inspiring architectural design (as seen in the renderings), it embodies Ivey's commitment to creating exceptional learning experiences.

Spaces that Support How We Learn and Lead
The new Ivey Toronto campus is purposefully planned to bring people together – supporting collaboration, flexibility, and connection. The floor plans reflect the way our programs are delivered and how learning happens at Ivey: through discussion, interaction, and shared experience.
Thoughtful layouts, flexible zones, and integrated technology make it easy to move between learning, networking, and reflection – creating a dynamic environment built for today’s business leaders.

Furnishings that are Proudly Canadian
Every space at Ivey’s new Toronto campus is designed with purpose – to meet the unique needs of our learning environments and reflect our values of quality and sustainability. From classrooms to collaboration zones, all furniture is Canadian-made and supplied through Canadian distributors.
This approach supports local businesses, reduces our environmental footprint, and upholds high standards of design and durability. Together, these choices create an environment that feels distinctly Ivey and proudly Canadian – a space built for learning, connection, and leadership.
An Intentional Approach to Accessibility
Working with an accessibility consultant, we incorporated improvements throughout the new Toronto campus to enhance access and ease of movement. While accessibility poses unique challenges in a renovation compared to a new build, the result reflects our commitment to creating spaces that are welcoming and functional for everyone.
