The Wayne and William White Engineering Design Centre is a communal learning space where students will build their design skills, hone their teamwork and communications skills, and put into practice the theory they learn in the classroom. Students from across the engineering disciplines will come together to work collaboratively, share knowledge, and gain valuable hands-on engineering experience. The building will feature:

• Competition space and two specialized workrooms for student teams to develop and assemble extra-curricular projects for competitions
• Design studio for design instruction, project-based learning and collaborative projects for students across the engineering disciplines
• Project room for hands-on work, as well as industry events, professional seminars, showcases of student projects and staging of student competitions
• Computer and reading room for document preparation and digital design
• Meeting room for collaborative project planning and discussions

The Wayne and William White Engineering Design Centre will create an environment where students will grow into professional engineers who will develop innovative solutions to issues facing society.
