Mount Royal students have always been visionary and strongly independent. Back in 1964, students received a government grant to be used for the creation of a student building. Students also used a portion of the activity fee to create a building fund which would eventually be used to build a student centre.
Prior to the building of the Lincoln Park Campus, the original Wyckham House was located in a run-down, old house near the original MRC downtown campus. The house was named after an instructor, Robert Wyckham, who encouraged students to be independent. After moving to the Lincoln Park Centre, the Students’ Association owned space within the college. Students, however, were dissatisfied and wanted their own space.
Officially opened in September 1987, Wyckham House is the student centre for Mount Royal University, owned and operated by students. Wyckham House celebrated its 10 year anniversary in 1997, along with the 30-year anniversary of the Students’ Association. Wyckham House has recently completed an expansion project to provide more space and services to its student membership.
