Integrated Learning Centre
The Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science's newest building, the Integrated Learning Centre, was officially opened in June 2004 as Beamish-Munro Hall. This unique facility designed to support and stimulate undergraduate learning includes multi-purpose rooms, shared teaching laboratories, prototyping workshop rooms, convenient space for students to work on projects together, environmentally-sustainable features, Live Building systems through which the building itself can be used as a learning tool, and a three-storey-high Living wall which acts as a biofilter. Most of the rooms as well as laboratories can be used freely, and some of them can be booked. The Tea Room is a student-run café with objectives of environmental sustainability, opened in the Integrated Learning Centre in the fall of 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words integrated, learning and/or centre:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“Our day of dependence, our long apprenticeship to the learning of other lands, draws to a close. The millions, that around us are rushing into life, cannot always be fed on the sere remains of foreign harvests.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Old politicians, like old actors, revive in the limelight. The vacancy which afflicts them in private momentarily lifts when, once more, they feel the eyes of an audience upon them. Their old passion for holding the centre of the stage guides their uncertain footsteps to where the footlights shine, and summons up a wintry smile when the curtain rises.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)
