Integrated Learning Centre
The Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science's newest building, the Integrated Learning Centre, was officially opened in June 2004 as Beamish-Munro Hall. This unique facility designed to support and stimulate undergraduate learning includes multi-purpose rooms, shared teaching laboratories, prototyping workshop rooms, convenient space for students to work on projects together, environmentally-sustainable features, Live Building systems through which the building itself can be used as a learning tool, and a three-storey-high Living wall which acts as a biofilter. Most of the rooms as well as laboratories can be used freely, and some of them can be booked. The Tea Room is a student-run café with objectives of environmental sustainability, opened in the Integrated Learning Centre in the fall of 2006.
