McMaster University, a public research university located in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada), has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for the design, build, finance and manage of a graduate student residence (GSR) under the PPP model.

This project would be the first graduate and off-campus residence for McMaster. The GSR will provide a modern, energy-efficient building to help address McMaster’s space constraints. McMaster has approximately 1,200 graduate and 300 Postdoctoral Fellows.

Land for the GSR is not available on McMaster’s campus. Therefore McMaster is looking for proponents to identify one or more potential sites for the location of the GSR.

McMaster conducted a graduate student residence survey in 2013 that included student amenity preferences. Proponents should consider the results of this survey as McMaster desires that the Project be responsive to its students’ stated desires and needs. 

Interested parties must submit their proposals on or before July 28, 2016.
