Audio tour McMaster University Campus Architecture Tour

Audio tour Summary

Welcome to the McMaster University Architecture Audio Tour.

The McMaster Museum of Art has gathered information and images about the history of McMaster University in response to ongoing requests for information and stories about the campus. This walking tour begins at the Indigenous Circle, and visits buildings that demonstrate the history and architectural style of the first few decades of McMaster University in Hamilton.

Before we begin, the McMaster Museum of Art would like to first recognize, acknowledge, and honour the history that came before the City of Hamilton and McMaster University’s existence in this place. 

We gather now in Hamilton, Ontario, on the traditional territories of the Mississauga, and the Six Nations of the Grand River Confederacy: the Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Seneca and Tuscarora nations - lands protected by the Dish With One Spoon wampum agreement. We express gratitude to the generations of Indigenous peoples and communities for their care of this land and the teachings about this Earth in our relations. We acknowledge that it is our responsibility to respect Indigenous ways of knowing and to work in moving forward in a spirit of partnership, reconciliation and collaboration through honesty, empathy and action.

As we discuss the history of the university and its campus, we want to acknowledge that McMaster University is a colonial institution that has benefitted from the displacement of peoples and land. We recognize that these difficult histories persist in present day racial realities and privileges at this university.

A Brief History

McMaster University was originally Toronto Baptist College, located in McMaster Hall on Bloor Street in Toronto. William McMaster, a wealthy merchant, banker, and Liberal Senator of the Dominion of Canada, was a member and funder to a number of Baptist churches in Toronto. The endowment he left to the Toronto Baptist College enabled them to rename it McMaster University. The university moved to Hamilton in 1930.

McMaster University here in Hamilton began with 6 original buildings, all of which are included in this tour: University Hall, Hamilton Hall, The Refectory, Edwards Hall, Wallingford Hall, and Alumni Memorial Hall, all designed by architect William Lyon Somerville, who also designed the original campus plan. 

McMaster was originally governed by the Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec, and was later deemed a public university and secularized in 1957.

McMaster in Moscow: Women in Engineering mini-doc featured at G(irls) 20 Summit

June 17, 2013

What began as one conversation about women in the world of technology has evolved into a global movement with tangible results. And now, McMaster University has joined that conversation.

On June 17, the fourth annual G(irls) 20 Summit in Moscow, Russia, will bring together delegates from each of the G20 countries and the African Union for education, exploration and entrepreneurial development. For this international event, McMaster has partnered with the G(irls)20 Summit to create an original, thought-provoking video exploring the pressing global need for women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math, or ‘S.T.E.M.’ careers.

Women in Engineering: Our Global Future, a mini-documentary created by McMaster’s Faculty of Engineering, explores the wealth of career opportunities that await young women in scientific and technological fields. Hosted by Elaine Kunda, member of the McMaster Alumni Association Board of Directors and lead advisor of the G(irls) 20 Summit, this video intends to inform and inspire women who may become our future engineers.

“Attracting women to scientific or technological fields is a challenge for most G20 countries,” says Kunda. “It made sense to go directly to the source and speak with students and faculty members in this field of study if we wanted answers and insight. McMaster Engineering responded immediately with their interest and support, and not only gave us access but funded this initiative.”

On June 17, the G(irls) 20 delegates, who are all girls aged 18-20, will have the opportunity to view the McMaster video and to draw their own conclusions about what can be done to open up economic possibilities for women around the globe.

Art Heidebrecht, acting dean of engineering, feels the mini-documentary highlights the Faculty of Engineering’s core values of diversity and inclusivity, and to fostering a collaborative and engaging academic community.

“The objectives of the G(irls)20 Summit align well with our key faculty priorities and we are proud to be an academic partner,” says Heidebrecht.  “This project communicates our shared belief in investing in girls and women, in the importance of women pursuing careers in engineering and technology, and in the pivotal role of women in developing a sustainable world.”

In the video, McMaster faculty members Heather Sheardown, Saideh Razavi and Sarah Dickson examine the reasons why there are fewer girls in these fields and share insights into the economic and social benefits of recruiting women into them. And engineering students, like Trinette Wright, share their passion and commitment to solving the world’s problems.

The G(irls) 20 Summit will include special guest speakers such as Arianna Huffington (founder of The Huffington Post ), Jennifer Buffet (NoVo Foundation president) and Lauren Bush Lauren (founder of FEED). The delegates will spend several days in workshops (June 15 – 18) with two days learning from presentations and panel discussions that will be livestreamed on www.girls20summit.com . They will engage with the concepts and spend a day developing a communiqué that will be presented to the G20 Leaders Summit in Russia in September 2013.

Filmed and produced locally by Hamilton’s very own Double Barrel Studios, this video is now taking a trip abroad to be shown on an international stage. Roslyn Allen and Lee Hillman bring their years of experience to the table to collaborate with McMaster University once again on an engaging outreach project.

“When we were asked to work with McMaster Engineering on this mini-documentary, we were excited at the possibility of creating a piece that would inform and inspire audiences,” says Allen. “It’s always a pleasure to produce engaging, forward-thinking material, especially when the message is this important. McMaster and the G(irls) 20 Summit have succeeded in highlighting the countless possibilities for women who take on leadership roles in our society. We couldn’t be more pleased to have brought this message to life on screen!”

Established in 2010, the G(irls)20 is an organization that promotes the economic empowerment, education and entrepreneurial training of girls and women globally.

“I’m very proud of the end result,” says Kunda. “I think the video raises topics that will stimulate an engaging discussion and it will resonate with girls and women who see it.”

April 22, 2024 - Protests at Columbia and other schools escalate

Matt Egan, Alicia Wallace and Chandelis Duster

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology says it is 'determining next steps'

From CNN's Jillian Sykes

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology issued a statement Monday regarding tents on its campus.

"MIT officials are aware of the tents, and are determining next steps with a focus on ensuring campus is physically safe and fully functioning. MIT Police were on scene throughout the night and will continue to be present."

Robert Kraft says he is willing to support The Kraft Center at the university

From CNN's Chandelis Duster

Robert Kraft, billionaire owner of the NFL’s New England Patriots and backer of Columbia University, on Monday said he is still willing to support The Kraft Center at the school that supports Jewish students, calling it “a haven of safety.”

Kraft, an alumnus of the university, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead” that he loves the school and “we have to have accountability.”

“There are both professors and students within the university who say things that I think cross the line and there should be accountability. I believe in free speech. Say whatever you want but pay the consequences. And don't have your face covered. I don't think that should be allowed,” he said.  

“I can’t believe in New York City at Columbia University Jewish students are afraid to go to classes in the United States of America in 2024. It’s amazing to me and horrible,” Kraft also said.

Asked where he drew the line at Columbia University regarding both pro-Palestine and pro-Israel protests and what he finds objectionable, he said “there is a lack of education on the situation” happening in the Middle East. 

“I’m concerned about America and what’s going on in this country. And to keep it open and free for all people of all backgrounds to do as they wish,” he said.

Asked if he has confidence in Columbia University’s president, Minouche Shafik, he said he thinks she is “very well intentioned” and said “we have to look at what goes on with faculty.”

Columbia faculty stage walk-out in solidarity with students

From CNN's John Towfighi

Hundreds of people gathered on Low Plaza Monday afternoon as Columbia University faculty delivered speeches in support of the student protesters who were suspended and arrested Thursday.

Faculty who spoke denounced university president Minouche Shafik’s decision to authorize the New York Police Department to remove protesters from campus and demanded all legal and disciplinary charges be dismissed and expunged from students' records.

Faculty held signs that read, “Hands off our students,” and “End student suspensions now.” Some faculty donned their academic regalia and wore sashes that read, “We support students.”

Speeches were met with cheers and claps from the crowd, as well as chants for Shafik to resign.

Christopher Brown, a professor of history, said, “I’m here because I am so concerned about what is happening at this university, with where we are now and with where we are going. Thursday April 18, 2024, will be remembered as a shameful day in Columbia history.”

“The president’s decision to send riot police to pick up peaceful protesters on our campus was unprecedented, unjustified, disproportionate, divisive and dangerous,” Brown said.

US Rep. Ilhan Omar, whose daughter Isra Hirsi was among the protesters arrested Thursday , posted on X that while she’s glad to see faculty demonstrate in solidarity with students, she wants the protests to focus on Gaza.

"On Thursday, Columbia arrested and suspended its students who were peacefully protesting and have now ignited a nationwide Gaza Solidarity movement. This is more than the students hoped for and I am glad to see this type of solidarity. But to be clear, this about the genocide in Gaza and the attention has to remain on that," Omar wrote.

NYC Mayor condemns "vile" and "disgusting" rhetoric at college campuses

From CNN's Alicia Wallace

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday condemned “vile” and “disgusting” rhetoric being used at campuses such as Columbia University, where students are holding protests over the Israel-Hamas War.

Adams told CNN’s Jake Tapper that he supports First Amendment rights but said law enforcement officials are on the ready if any of that speech goes too far or if there’s an imminent threat to people or property.

"That is one of the fundamental rights we hold dear as Americans: The right to protest," Adams said on CNN's "The Lead." "What we have seen playing out on many of our college campuses, and particularly Columbia University, is hate. We’re seeing vile language being used."

Adams noted that he can feel the "duality of this moment" and how the events of the past six months are weighing heavily on Jewish and Palestinian New Yorkers. He added that the police escorts of Jewish students through campus were reminiscent of the Army soldiers who escorted nine Black students into a high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, nearly 67 years ago.

"There is no place for hate in this city," he said.

New York Police Department officers have a “large presence” surrounding Columbia but have remained off the campus grounds at the request of the school’s administration, NYPD deputy commissioners said earlier on Monday.

Adams told Tapper that the NYPD’s commissioner of legal matter is monitoring the protests for any speech that violates law. Additionally, police officers will take "appropriate action" and go on private property if there’s an "imminent threat."

Protesters gather at The New School in New York City

From CNN's Elisabeth Buchwald

Protesters have gathered at The New School, located near the Chelsea area of the New York City borough of Manhattan.

An encampment of four tents was set up in the lobby of the building that houses auditoriums, a cafeteria and a library. Roughly 75 students, and other people who have The New School IDs, gathered inside the building.

"Disclose, divest, we will not stop, we will not stop, we will not rest," was repeatedly chanted. 

Outside the building, protesters from the school, as well as outsiders, joined in chants from the sidewalk.

There is a stark difference between the inside and outside of Columbia University's campus

From CNN's Ramishah Maruf

There’s a stark difference between the inside of Columbia University's campus and the outside, where there are protesters gathered on the street. 

The encampment is only open to those affiliated with campus. Only those with a Columbia ID can enter the campus gates. Inside the encampment, programs include teach-ins, poetry readings and film screenings. Some students are quietly finishing assignments, while others are painting posters.

Elsewhere around campus, students are eating and completing assignments. Many students take graduation pictures at this time, and some are in graduation gowns walking down Broadway. Risers are set up for an upcoming commencement ceremony.

Other students are holding large American flags underneath Butler Library.

But the students can still hear the tension that is taking place yards away at the university gates. There is a gathering of pro-Palestinian protesters, who in the early afternoon were chanting “I believe that we will win” and “Long Live the Intifada.” There was a smaller group of pro-Israeli protesters, who chanted back “Down with Hamas” and “Victory to Israel.” A line of New York Police officers were monitoring the street.

What it's like inside the Columbia University encampment

The inside of the encampment is quiet – most of the noise comes from protestors outside the gates of Columbia University's campus, who are chanting “I believe that we will win” and “Long live the Intifada."

It was a sunny day on campus, and in one corner, students were painting posters. One person strummed a stringed instrument, and other students are reading books or on their laptops finishing assignments. Others have donated provisions, ranging from a table of snacks to hygiene products. There was also a pile of blankets.

“We’ve just been trying to keep students mobilized and keep pushing for divestment,” Dalia, a first-year student at Columbia College, told CNN. “We are a very mobilized student body and a very unified student body. Hundreds of people have been in and out of the encampment.”

CNN agreed not to publish her surname due to safety concerns.

She said the students at the campus “refuse to be complicit in the genocide, the apartheid, and the occupation of Palestine.”

There are strict community guidelines for the encampment. One rule says not to share names or details of anyone met in camp, and asking for permission before photographing or taking video.

The encampment is filled with dozens and dozens of tents, from students to neighboring Barnard College staff. Today’s encampment program included an Earth Day performance, poetry reading and a Dabka lesson, a traditional dance from the Arab region. Prior program events included dance performances from different cultures.

Democratic House members tour Columbia campus

Democratic Reps. Jared Moskowitz of Florida, Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, Dan Goldman of New York and Kathy Manning of North Carolina, who are all Jewish, spoke at a news conference Monday after touring Columbia University’s campus. 

"We saw it firsthand as we walked past the encampments on the university's main lawn full of protesters spewing incendiary antisemitic hate and vitriol. Many aren't even Columbia students I've been told. Their campaign of intimidation is sickening and shocking and as the White House said yesterday, ‘echoes the rhetoric of Hamas terrorists,'" Gottheimer said. 

He also criticized Columbia University leadership, saying, “toothless combinations from administrators aren't going to stop the anarchy we’re seeing.”

“The only way to do it is with deeds, not words,” Gottheimer said. “Colleges have a legal obligation under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to provide students, including Jews and Muslims, a school environment free from discrimination and harassment based on race color or national origin. Yet just feet from here, Jewish students are being verbally and even physically assaulted.”

Gottheimer continued, “To the administrators of Columbia and beyond, here are our demands: Stop the double talk and start acting now. Discipline harassers, restore civility on this campus, encourage peaceful constructive dialogue.”

He also gave a message for students: “While the leadership of Columbia may be failing you, we will not. We will do everything in our power to keep you safe and do everything in Washington we can to make sure that you feel welcome at this university or any university across the United States of America. And Columbia University, if they don't follow through, will pay the price.”

Goldman said he was "encouraged" the Columbia University president issued guidelines about additional security, calling it a "very important first step" and criticized what is happening on campus.

"That is unacceptable for a university, that is unacceptable for an academic institution. There is no question that everyone has a First Amendment right to speak out in this country and that must be preserved," Goldman said. "But a university and all universities have an obligation to maintain the safety and security of their students from all backgrounds."

Manning said university leadership should "do more to keep Jewish students safe and to re-establish an atmosphere in which all students can learn, study and participate safely in campus life."

"Columbia must also move forward with its promised efforts to teach its students and its faculty about the nature and history and dangers of antisemitism. It must ensure that Columbia professors are not encouraging and spreading antisemitism," Manning said.

"I call on the US Department of Education and the US Department of Justice to work with the White House to ensure that all universities take steps necessary to keep Jewish students and faculty safe. I also call on Congress to enact legislation to implement the steps outlined in the US national strategy to counter antisemitism, to address the scourge of antisemitism which is a threat to the foundations of our democracy," she said.

President Joe Biden condemns antisemitism on campus

From CNN's Kevin Liptak

President Joe Biden decried antisemitic protests around college campuses Monday and said his administration was working to combat anti-Jewish hatred.

"I condemn the antisemitic protests, that’s why I’ve set up a program to deal with that," Biden said when questioned about the events at Columbia University in New York.

"I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians," he said, without expanding upon what he meant.

Biden was speaking after an Earth Day event in Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, Virginia.

When asked whether Columbia's president should resign, Biden appeared to mishear: "I didn’t know that. I'll have to find out more," he said.

Historic Pepsi Cola Bottling Plant to be home to Crescent One Community Start-up

Greenville area entrepreneurs will have a new space to call home once the first phase of the Crescent One Community Start-up is completed on July 1.

Crescent One will be home to Flywheel offices, suites, coworking areas, social commons, an outdoor event venue, and a conference center. The project involves renovating Hartness Development's 48,000-square-foot historic Pepsi Cola Bottling Plant on 701 Poinsett Highway.

Hartness Development , Flywheel , Furman University's Hill Institute for Innovation , and Poinsett Partners have joined to create Crescent One Community Start-up on seven acres.

"We also purchased the land that used to house the former Piedmont Shirt Factory at 111 Henry St. on Poinsett Highway," according to Jim Burns, chief operating officer of Hartness Development. "We worked in conjunction with the Greenville County redevelopment team to purchase the land for nearly $1 million.

"This lot will allow us up to 150,000 additional square feet."

Burns said the entire project will cost $18 million. A group of local investors led by Hartness Development provided the funds. Ameris Bank offered senior debt, and SC JEDA also provided financing.

The remainder of the district will open in phases and include a green space area.

"Additional buildings will be built if the need arises," Burns said.

Phase One’s Crescent One building will have its grand opening this summer.

Mavin Construction is doing construction on this project.

The Flagwheel Foundation and Furman University's Hill Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship will also be tenants.

"The Flagwheel Foundation will house a 23,000-square-foot space at Crescent One Community Startup facility," Burns said.

The space will include 40 private office suites, co-working areas, ample event space, seminar rooms, indoor and outdoor social common spaces, and a fitness center operated by Fitness with a View.

Greenville is a growing southern city with solid population demographics, said founding partner Peter Marsh. "They have done a great job revamping its downtown area and other markets. We saw this as an opportunity to have a tremendous impact by supporting local entrepreneurs in a portion of the city that has not yet been revitalized."

Burns said the Hill Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship building will have offices and meeting spaces, allowing the institute to host networking events and fulfill its mission of being a central part of entrepreneurship.

“Furman’s future requires an innovative Furman, so it’s only natural that we would be an integral part of this exciting Crescent Startup Community,” said  Furman University President Elizabeth Davis in a press release.

Crescent One Community Startup: How was it founded?

The Crescent One Community Startup was founded in 2023 through Shawn Hartness and the Hartness Development Partnership with Flywheel, Furman University Hill Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and other Poinsett Development Partners.

"The Hartness Development is a collection of experienced planning, design, construction, real estate, and finance professionals who create legacy projects that stand the test of time and seek better solutions for the challenges of today," according to a press release.

About Flywheel Foundation Innovation Centers: What you need to know

Flywheel was founded in 2014. "The organization designs and operates a multi-state network of co-working innovation centers in collaboration with local institutions, which fosters startups and entrepreneurs through a network of purpose-driven innovation communities in the Southeast, providing affordable infrastructure for communities to flourish," said founding partner Peter Marsh.

The Flywheel Foundation, founded in 2015, is an affiliated non-profit charitable organization dedicated to eliminating barriers to entrepreneurship through ecosystem development, education, research, and investment.

"Once operational, Flywheel will offer membership opportunities paid on month-to-month plans," Marsh said.

Membership plans include private offices, reserved desks, unreserved desk community member plans, day passes, digital mailboxes, and virtual offices.

The cost can vary from $80 to $850 depending on space type, plan, and days used.

The organization will also deploy programming such as retail labs featuring downtown entrepreneurs, installing investment firms, and assembling investment capital that can be invested in early-stage start-ups."

About Furman University: The Hill Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Furman University established the Hill Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship as an entrepreneurial education and support hub.

Through collaboration with organizations such as Flywheel and Hartness Development, the Hill Institute will have offices and meeting spaces at Crescent Startup for students and entrepreneurs to network, learn, and turn their ideas into business ventures.

"These organizations and individuals came together for one common cause: to create a space where Upstate’s entrepreneurial community can live, work, play, and innovate in one central space that provides access to all the resources necessary to launch and grow a business venture successfully," Burns said.

Hard hat tours of Flywheel

Flywheel is providing hard-hat tours for the community and potential members to explore the first phase of the Crescent One development and meet founding partners Hartness Development COO Burns, Hartness Development Associate Fred Dilworth, and Flywheel Coworking Founding Partner Marsh on the fourth Wednesday of each month.

"We are hosting these hard-hat tours to show attendees what is to come; they provide attendees with a firsthand glimpse of the upcoming Crescent One Community Startup facility," Burns said. "We have shut down construction on the day of the tours. By wearing hardhats, attendees can safely explore the construction site and view visuals of the future amenities and spaces to come."

The remaining tour dates are May 22 and June 26 ; tours will be available between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.

Interested individuals must register for the Crescent One Community Startup preview tour.

"Attendees will have the opportunity to preview the conference center, coworking areas, offices, suites, social commons, atrium, fitness studio operated by Fitness with a view , and outdoor venue amenities," Olivia Evans, Greenville Community Manager, said.

"We will provide hardhats, and attendees should wear comfortable closed-toe shoes," she said.
