The University of Toronto's Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering officially opened the Myhal Centre for Innovation & Entrepreneurship on Friday.
Named in honour of the Myhal family - including George Myhal and his wife Rayla, two of Engineering's most ardent supporters - the building will allow for collaboration across disciplines, and experiential learning, leadership and entrepreneurship opportunities. It includes flexible, technology enhanced active learning spaces, fabrication facilities to support both curricular and co-curricular design projects, and dedicated space for student clubs and teams.
"The Myhal Centre is where tomorrow's solutions, technologies and industries will be born," said Cristina Amon, dean of the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering. "Its state-of-the-art facilities will spark new multidisciplinary collaborations, foster rich learning experiences and create further opportunities to enhance how we develop the next generation of global engineering leaders."
