The Lazaridis School of Business and Economics is the business school of Wilfrid Laurier University located in Waterloo, Ontario. Originally the Laurier School of Business and Economics, it was renamed in September 2015 to recognize Mike Lazaridis, co-founder of Research In Motion, and former Chancellor of the University of Waterloo. The re-branding followed a 2014 announcement of his pledge of $20-million for a new technology-focused management institute at the business school. In 2016, the School and the new institute will move to a new facility, the Lazaridis Hall building, at 200 University Avenue West in Waterloo.
With more than 4,500 students overall, and more than 108 full-time and 65 part-time faculty in 2014, the School is the largest faculty at Wilfrid Laurier University.
The main campus is located 100 km (62 mi) west of Toronto and offers full-time and part-time PhD, MBA, Master's, Economics and Honours BBA; the Brantford, Ontario campus offers a Bachelor of Business Technology Management program (administered by the business school). Diploma programs in Accounting and Business Administration are also offered by the School of Business and Economics. A program in association with the University of Waterloo confers double degrees. The Lazaridis School also offers a part-time MBA program in downtown Toronto at the St. Andrew’s Club and Conference Centre.
