The 100,000 square foot building
is the epitome of modern design.
Designed to enhance connection,
collaboration, and creation, the build-
ing features unique components at
every turn, including tiered class-
rooms, collaborative research space,
extended outdoor spaces, and flexible
meeting rooms, taking full advantage
of the space and natural light, as per
design by Perkins+Will with Corner-
stone Architecture, with construc-
tion managed by London’s Norlon
Builders.
“The building brings to life a vision set
by Andrew Hrymak, who is the former
Engineering Dean and now Provost
and Vice-President Academic for
Western University,” says Dr. Gregory
Kopp, Acting Dean of the Faculty of
Engineering.
