A $500,000 donation by Husky Energy – one of Canada's largest energy company – will create a living "courtyard classroom" for students to work in and enjoy.
The Courtyard will recreate a boreal forest and wetland environment, and offer students in the Faculty of Science opportunities to manipulate that environment and test their theories and learning.
John Lau, CEO of Husky Energy, dedicated the courtyard at a ceremony on October 4.
The courtyard will be a focal point for the new Bioscience Complex. The complex's first phase - the Centre for Advanced Research in Environmental Genomics (CAREG) - opened in 2003, and won a national award for energy efficiency (see April 27 Gazette). The courtyard will be completed in August 2005, at roughly the same time as the bioscience complex's third and final phase.
