TORONTO—The new faculty of science research facilities at Ryerson University in Toronto will bring all researchers together under one roof.
Recently, the university officially opened the doors to the facility in the MaRS Discovery District, placing the university’s researchers in the heart of a community focused on the next generation of science and technology research, explains a release.
Designed by NXL Architects, the 20,000-square-foot collaborative space will house research teams conducting a spectrum of projects in cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology and environmental toxicology.
Located on the 11th floor of the MaRS West Tower at 101 College St., important features of the space include an open concept wet lab with research pods for synergistic programs, and a suite of technologies, instruments and equipment designed to support leading-edge scientific enquiry, adds the release.
"As a university, our role must be to push boundaries in all scientific fields, and creating this facility gives the next generation of researchers an opportunity to make their mark," said Mohamed Lachemi, Ryerson president and vice-chancellor, in a statement.
"Valuable research is done best when different groups can come together to share their expertise, and MaRS facilities will create an ecosystem that will do just that."
