The Lazaridis School of Business & Economics is one of Canada's largest business schools. Originally the Laurier School of Business and Economics, it was re-named (re-branded) in September 2015 to honour Mike Lazaridis, co-founder of Research In Motion. In 2016, the school will move to a new facility, the Global Innovation Exchange building which will also house Laurier's new business management institute,(still under construction) on University Avenue in Waterloo, ON. The recognition followed an announcement in 2014 of his pledge of $20-million for a new technology-focused management institute at the Laurier business school that also will bear his name. Dean Micheál Kelly said the prominence of the Lazaridis name "provides us with a great opportunity now to tell the story on a much wider level of what a great school this is." Laurier president Max Blouw told Lazaridis that the re-naming "reinforces our commitment to embody your pioneering vision and sense of innovation in our programs and in our students." With more than 4,500 students overall, and more than 108 full-time and 65 part-time faculty in 2014,〔http://legacy.wlu.ca/calendars/section.php?cal=3&s=670&y=63〕 the School is the largest faculty at Wilfrid Laurier University.
