UWaterloo, YorkU open spaces for innovation, arts

The University of Waterloo and York University have each opened new spaces on their campuses. UWaterloo has officially opened its Innovation Arena. In addition to housing the Velocity startup incubator, this space will house business supports for founders, product development labs, manufacturing equipment, and collaboration spaces. YorkU has unveiled a new art space: the Joan and Martin Goldfarb Gallery. The building is shaped like a butterfly, with a central reception area that connects the four “wings” of the building: Three exhibition spaces and a performance pavilion. The project was funded by a $6M gift from Joan and Martin Goldfarb.
