Help Massey College preserve its historic home for future generations
Ongoing stewardship ensures this landmark residence continues to inspire scholars and Fellows while maintaining its cultural and architectural heritage.
Massey College is more than a residence; it is a historic home where Canada’s brightest graduate students, Junior Fellows, come together to live, learn, and grow as future leaders. Designed by the acclaimed architect Ron Thom, the building houses one of the few Chapel Royals in the world (St. Catherine’s Chapel), the Robertson Davies Library with its collection of rare books and manuscripts, and the Bibliography Room with traditional printing presses – spaces that have nurtured generations of scholars and leaders.
At over 60 years old, Massey College is a cherished historic home that, like any building of its age, requires continued maintenance. Like all buildings of its age, it relies on careful preservation to maintain its character and functionality. By tending to its halls, rooms, and gathering spaces, we ensure that this remarkable home continues to welcome future generations of students and preserves the unique atmosphere that has inspired scholars, thinkers, and leaders for generations.
Life at Massey immerses Junior Fellows in a vibrant, cross-disciplinary community where curiosity meets opportunity. Mentorship from Senior Fellows, leaders in their fields, opens doors to experiences that can define careers, while friendships and connections forged here last a lifetime. Being part of Massey is more than living in a residence; it is a chance to join a legacy of excellence, innovation, and influence that you would not find anywhere else.
Your gift directly safeguards this historic home and the experience it provides. Contributions help fund essential repairs, grow endowments for existing programs, maintain affordable housing, and continue to attract outstanding graduate students through Bursaries and Awards.
