McMaster selects architects for Wilson College building

The Wilson College of Leadership and Civic Engagement, a partnership between the faculties of Social Sciences and Humanities, with generous support from L.R. “Red” Wilson, has reached another milestone in its development.

McMaster has retained RDH Architects, who will be working in partnership with Shoalts and Zabak Architects (SZA). Together, they will support the feasibility study and design work for the new Wilson College building, which will include a residence for students as well as academic and collaborative spaces.

RDH will conduct the feasibility study over the summer and early fall in collaboration with internal working groups, composed of members from the two faculties and other university departments.

The building is anticipated to be ready for occupancy by Wilson College students, staff and faculty in 2026.
