Memorial University is celebrating the opening of a $6.8-million Research and Development facility. The expansion will enable an increase in focused R&D performed in this province. VOCM's Mike Lockman has more.
One obstacle in Memorial's Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science up to this point has been lack of dedicated research space. This 1,320 square meter expansion to MUN's Engineering Building makes that a thing of the past. The $6.8-million facility was funded by the RDC and Suncor Energy and will employ 100 full time equivalent researchers. It is estimated the expansion will help grow the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science R&D by six to eight million dollars per year over the next five years.
