December 16, 2009

The University of Windsor's coming $112-million engineering building will transform the school and its community, promises the president of the university.

"It's going to send a message about the kind of education we can offer our students," said Alan Wildeman. "The building is designed to create a learning environment that's going to be one of the finest in Canada."

The university showed off plans for the facility at an open house session on Tuesday night. Floor layouts were displayed on easels while artistic interpretations of the structure were presented in model form, both computer-generated and wooden.

Kevin Stelzer, one of the building's architects, was in attendance to take questions from the public.

Heather Metcalfe, a sociology professor who lives near where the building will be located at California Avenue and Wyandotte Street West, said she was impressed. "I think it's wonderful for Windsor, it's wonderful for the university."
