The proposed expansion of the Sauder School of Business will meet the growing needs of the business school. The proposal is for an 11 storey building with approximately 13,500 sq.m. of space which will include an Indigenous centre, and spaces for classrooms, offices, amenities, and collaborative learning. The project also provides a significant amount of new public outdoor space along West Mall, including a plaza space that will provide access to the main building entrance and a café.

Considerable planning has gone into the decision to remove the two heritage buildings on the site, the decommissioned Power House and Old Fire Hall. Key factors included costs, functionality, and ecological and heritage impacts of retention versus replacement. The Power House will be demolished due to contamination and seismic issues and work is still underway to determine whether the Fire Hall will be demolished or relocated.
