Fostering innovative projects, developing new products and bringing them to the marketplace helps to diversify and strengthen northern Ontario’s economy.
Laurentian University’s newly opened Cliff Fielding Research, Innovation and Engineering Building is a 60,000 square foot facility designed to support this work. It’s home to four innovation labs, a materials analysis lab and environmental and soil mechanics lab. It also contains a prototype development and machine shop, integrated software lab, hydraulics and fluid mechanics lab, a lecture theatre and expanded space for the Bharti School of Engineering.
The goal is to give faculty and graduate students the opportunity to train on specialized instruments and to forge new research collaborations.
