Ron Joyce Centre

The Ron Joyce Centre is home to the DeGroote School of Business’ MBA, executive education and specialized graduate programs. The facility and its programs form a hub for academic and economic collaboration in Burlington and the Halton Region. It plays an important role in building a knowledge economy, strengthening the local business environment and attracting new investment to the community.

Opened in September 2010, the Ron Joyce Centre (RJC) is a four-storey, 90,000-square-foot building housing state-of-the-art classrooms, meeting spaces and lecture facilities. The third floor is dedicated to executive education, providing a wide variety of education opportunities to business clients in the Greater Toronto Area and Golden Horseshoe. The fourth floor is dedicated to the Digital Transformation Research Centre, Executive MBA in Digital Transformation, and the Health Leadership Academy.

Building on this focus on innovation and digital transformation, RJC is the centre for DeGroote’s artificial intelligence and analytics programming, including the Graduate Certificate in Data Science, Applied AI and Organizational Leadership and Master of Management programs: Master of Management in Applied AI and Data-Driven Decision-Making and Master of Management in AI and Analytics.

In keeping with DeGroote’s commitment to corporate social responsibility, the Ron Joyce Centre incorporates several environmentally conscious measures and targets a gold LEED rating.
