International project
The Bergeron Centre
A
hub for entrepreneurship, collaboration, and creativity,
the facility’s design aims to advance engineering
education and provide a platform to educate
the next generation of engineers – The
Renaissance Engineer: a creative problem
solver and entrepreneurial leader
with a social conscience. Student
productivity drove the design
process, optimizing spaces
for learning, discovery and
interaction. A complete immersion of
technology and architecture allowed for
no lecture halls, fewer classrooms
and a project-based learning
environment. Students, faculty,
and staff areas are seamlessly
integrated throughout the
building. Inverting the
typical structure,
students are given
access to the
best and
brightest
