Text description provided by the architects. The University of Waterloo's Engineering Five building marks the first phase of a major expansion to the Faculty of Engineering and a dramatic new showcase for its innovative work. The six storey structure consolidates previously dispersed departments with four stories of departmental labs, classrooms and offices above a two storey Student Design Centre (SDC). The SDC is conceived as a "daylight factory" where instructional space and design studios overlook high concrete framed work bays and shops supporting the fabrication and display of student projects.
