The University of British Columbia has officially opened the Gordon B Shrum Building, which will house the School of Biomedical Engineering. The building—reportedly Canada’s first purpose-built facility for biomedical engineering—includes specialized labs, collaborative research spaces, and teaching facilities. Researchers, students, and members of industry will come together in the lab to engage in research and innovation related to biomedical engineering and the life sciences sector. The $139.4M building project was supported by funds from the Government of British Columbia and other donors; it is named in honour of the late philanthropist Gordon B Shrum.
