University of Waterloo

Construction has started on the University of Waterloo’s new 56,000ft² Faculty of Applied Health Sciences building in Ontario, Canada.

The facility will house research and teaching space and is set to include kinesiology research and teaching labs, as well as a 350-seat lecture theatre for classes, public lectures and conferences.

The building will house the University’s School of Anatomy, and also contain a graduate student seminar room, offices and a number of student workspaces.

University of Waterloo interim dean professor James Rush said: "Our physical expansion is only now catching up with the academic and research expansion that has occurred over the past several years.

"Producing world-class research and providing exceptional training remains a top priority, and our new facilities will help support that."
