Knowledge Infrastructure Program
The Knowledge Infrastructure Program is a two-year, $2 billion initiative to renew Canada's college and university infrastructure. Funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of Ontario, the economic stimulus program supports infrastructure enhancement at post-secondary institutions across Canada.
McMaster University received $38.5 million in Knowledge Infrastructure funds for several projects. An investment of $22 million funds upgrades to McMaster's Nuclear Reactor and Nuclear Research Building. A further investment of $16.5 million funds construction of two new centres: Centre for Spinal Cord Injury Education, Research and Rehabilitation and the Centre for Cancer Education, Research and Rehabilitation.
