In 2005, Seneca responded to the need for a postsecondary educational institution in Markham and York Region by opening its Markham Campus. The new Markham Campus is home to centres for Business & Research Intelligence, Research & Innovation, and a corporate training centre.

This new campus gives everyone who lives and works in Markham a local alternative for improving themselves and their employment opportunities. By 2008, more than 3,500 students will study at the Markham Campus.

It is located in the former Allstate Insurance Building in the centre of Markham’s business corridor and offers career-building and training opportunities as well as facilities and research partnerships aimed at attracting small- and medium-sized enterprises.

Programs offered at the Markham Campus include brand management and tourism and travel.

A group of Markham-area business leaders has come together to lend its support to Seneca’s $10 million Markham Campus capital appeal.

Under the co-chairmanship of David Tsubouchi and former Markham Mayor, Don Cousens, the Markham Fundraising Cabinet will work with Seneca, local businesses and government to help raise the $10 million needed to support the renovations and capital infrastructure of the new Markham Campus.

Since 2005, organizations like Allstate Insurance, Amsdell Inc.; Avaya Canada Corp.; HSBC Bank of Canada; Herman Miller Canada Inc.; Miller Paving Ltd.; the Town of Markham; Parmalat Canada; Sun Microsystems of Canada and others have partnered with Seneca through research, training, financial contributions and in-kind gifts of technology and infrastructure.

Thanks to the contributions of these generous organizations, Seneca’s “Leading Through Excellence” campaign for the Markham Campus has generated over $5 million in York Region.

Successful businesses understand the importance of keeping well-trained graduates learning and working in York Region. Join them in connecting with Canada’s premier college. A number of partnership options are available.
