The Dean of Arts Trust fund was established to be used at the discretion of the Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Science to support imaginative and crucial projects that maintain Queen's renowned status. This is to include, but not limited to, providing learning beyond the classroom and fostering links with the community.
An example of this funding can be seen in the collaborative partnership of the 2018 renovation of the south wing of Mackintosh-Corry Hall. The revitalization project will provide a more diverse range of learning opportunities by creating two new active learning classrooms, renewing other classrooms, as well as enlarging the hallways and creating informal learning spaces.
