Pierre Lassonde
generousity & Leadership

Pierre Lassonde has pledged more than $10 million in philanthropic support to numerous projects, beginning in 1996 with a landmark gift of $4 million that revolutionized the Mineral Engineering Program that now bears his name and the establishment of the Lassonde Institute in 2000. Since that time, his support of undergraduate and graduate scholarships, faculty research and industry collaborations, and his investments in the physical spaces in which our programming is housed, have deepened our impact within the academy, industry, government and society. Canadian Mining Hall of Fame’s website.

The Community Catalyst Strategic Advantage

Our Faculty’s commitment to sustainability and innovation — a cornerstone of every U of T Engineering student’s engineering education and future professional practice — is showcased through the Lassonde Mining Building.

The historic structure underwent a series of restorations, renovations and expansions in the past decade thanks to the generosity of Dr. Lassonde, whose leading gift helped us secure further funding from other donors as well as more than $11 million in federal and provincial grants. In the fall of 2010, the Goldcorp Mining Innovation Suite was completed on the building’s fourth floor, including 24 workspaces populated by MASc and PhD students working alongside core mineral engineering faculty members in their labs.

In 2014, the Goldcorp Suite received a Green Building Award from the Green Building Council for excellence in eco-conscious design and execution. It also holds LEED Gold status. The original Canadian Mining Hall of Fame is located on the ground floor of the Lassonde Mining Building.
