MBA: Â鶹AV’s Desautels given $1-million for state-of-the-art trading room
Students at Â鶹AV's Desautels Faculty of Management in Montreal will soon have a state-of-the-art trading room installed in the faculty's building.
Desautels began construction of the Business Intelligence Centre on the second floor of its Sherbrooke Street building, replacing the conventional business library. A centerpiece of the centre will be the Alphonse-Desjardins Trading Room, funded by Desjardins Group.
Desjardins will provide a total of $1-million for the trading room over five years, and is sharing its expertise in design, securities trading and technology.
The Alphonse-Desjardins trading room, expected to be completed by April 1, 2012, will provide Desautels' approximately 300 bachelor of commerce and MBA students with a hands-on opportunity to learn complex analytical tools.
