A vote by the University of Windsor’s Board of Governors last Tuesday declared the school’s Centre for Engineering Innovation will be built on campus.
The cutting-edge facility will nearly cover the entire student parking lot across from Harvey’s restaurant at the corner of Wyandotte Street and California Avenue. The project will require a demolition of the lot’s abandoned Prince of Wales School.
Total votes from the closed-door meeting were not made public. However, University president Ross Paul said that the University’s 31-member Board of Governors voted “pretty strongly” in favour of the $110 million building being erected on campus instead of downtown. >>

“...I’m pleased to donate a 2009 Corolla to the University of Windsor, in the heart of Canada’s automotive industry, and home of one of the foremost Automotive Engineering programs in the country,” Stephen Beatty, Managing Director of Toyota Canada. “The all-new 2009 Corolla is the product of many years of engineering learning for Toyota, and we are pleased to be able to share that learning with the faculty and students of the University." >>
