The K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre and Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens join Acadia in mourning the passing of Arthur L. Irving. An integral part of the Acadia University Family, he will be deeply missed. Arthur cared for Acadia, and leaves a legacy of supporting students through the Arthur L. Irving Scholarships. The Irving Family’s gift of the K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre and Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens positively changed Acadia University; we know that each student, researcher, and community member is better off for their learning experiences in this space.

We invite you to visit our K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre and reflect on Arthur’s significant contributions and the legacy he leaves.

Please take a moment to read the statement from our President Dr. Jeff Hennessy and the statement from Irving Oil.
