Article source: B+H Architects Completed in 2013, the Windsor’s Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation has allowed Windsor’s Faculty of Engineering to distinguish itself as a leader in engineering innovation in Canada. The project is an interactive, continuously evolving tool for learning, having been built to feature a variety of structures and systems that demonstrate engineering excellence to students firsthand.

While the Centre is outfitted with 80 high-tech teaching and research labs, the building’s many interactive architectural features provide hands-on applications to lessons learned inside the classroom.
