History

Canadian Mennonite University was incorporated in 1999, through the amalgamation of Canadian Mennonite Bible College, Concord College, and Menno Simons College. A fourth college, Steinbach Bible College, was also involved, but later withdrew.
The name, Canadian Mennonite University, was formally announced in early 2000 and classes began in September of that year on a new campus, composed of the campus of Canadian Mennonite Bible College on the south-west corner of Grant and Shaftesbury and the former campus of the Manitoba School for the Deaf.
In 2009, Canadian Mennonite University opened a new Menno Simons College campus on Portage Avenue. In late 2010, a science laboratory was constructed and in 2011 the Redekop School of Business was opened.
