The new $30-million, 56,000 square-foot facility is providing students and industry partners with access to research,
commercialization, incubator, changemaker and fabrication spaces and is home to the first engineering, environmental
sustainability and computer science degrees in Central Ontario, offered in partnership with Lakehead University.
The centre will be fundamental to the growth of Central Ontario's economy. It will enable greater industrial
competitiveness and resiliency through increased access to research, technology and innovative infrastructure, and
will become a regional space for industry and academia to develop and incubate products and services, test concepts,
and highlight promising research and new products.
The building's namesake, Peter B. Moore, is a local philanthropist and the Founder and CEO of Moore Packaging.
