LOOK AT US GROW
As one of Canada's youngest and most dynamic universities,
UOIT is rapidly growing in reputation and in enrolment at the
undergraduate and graduate levels. To address that growth
and ensure our students continue to have access to an
outstanding learning environment, UOIT has established a
downtown Oshawa campus and added new classrooms,
labs, study areas and state-of-the-art learning facilities on
our north Oshawa campus.
In late 2010, the General Motors of Canada Automotive
Centre of Excellence (ACE) will open at our north Oshawa
campus, providing faculty, staff, students and industry
partners with access to what will be the first commercial
automotive research, development and innovation centre of
its kind in the world. Among its many design and testing
features, the 16,300-square-metre (175,460-square-foot)
centre will be home to a climatic wind tunnel with extreme
weather capabilities.
Another exciting project now under construction is the new
General Motors of Canada Automotive Centre of Excellence (ACE) Energy Research Centre (ERC), a 9,290-square-metre
32 (100,000-square-foot) training and research facility, scheduled
to open in 2011. The ERC will serve as the premier training
ground for future energy scientists and nuclear engineers
while enabling leading-edge research in the development of
