Sauder School of Business – University of British Columbia
History
In 2003, nearly 50 years after the original founding of the UBC Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration, the school was renamed in honor of Dr. William Sauder, who awarded the school $20 million. Just a few years later, Vancouver business philanthropist Robert H. Lee donated another large gift to the school, helping establish the Robert H. Lee Graduate School.

The UBC Sauder Business School is located in the central part of the Point Grey campus in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Birmingham Undergraduate Centre, the Hari B. Varshney Business Career Centre, the Jim Pattison Leadership Centre, lecture halls, theatres, common areas, and much more.
