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.

Famous quotes containing the words integrated, learning and/or centre:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“Ignorance of what real learning is, and a consequent suspicion of it; materialism, and a consequent intellectual laxity—both of these have done destructive work in the colleges.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“Marriage and deathless friendship, both should be inviolable and sacred: two great creative passions, separate, apart, but complementary: the one pivotal, the other adventurous: the one, marriage, the centre of human life; and the other, the leap ahead.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
