This is the new Engineering 7 building. It's 7 stories and 242,000 gross square feet. Groundbreaking was November 12, 2015 with a September 2018 completion.

It will be located adjacent and connected via pedestrian bridges to Engineering 5.

It will become home to remarkable students, researchers and faculty.

An Atrium soaring between E7 and E5 is an inspiring space for collaboration, studying and student gatherings. There is dedicated student space in this spacious Atrium.

The first floor is home to the Engineering Ideas Clinic, RoboHub, Student Workshop and Machine Shop, Electronic Components Shop, Outreach and student space.

Home to the revolutionary Engineering Ideas Clinic™, it’s here where students experience structured idea creation and the design, build, test and iteration processes that connect the physical, analytical and digital worlds.

Students will be able to test their theories and fulfill their aspirations.

The machine shop, student workshop and electronic components shop will give students the tools and space to literally build their ideas.

Also on the first floor will be the new home to Waterloo Engineering outreach including camps, high school leadership programs and Women in Engineering initiatives.

The RoboHub is a revolutionary robotics test facility that’s a state-of-the art showcase for humanoid, aerial, ground and maglev robot technologies. The RoboHub will be a vital catalyst for research and innovation, bridging the laboratory and the real world and turning the world of science fiction into engineering fact.

Engineering 7 Second Floor features the Conrad Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology Centre, Engineering Ideas Clinic, RoboHub, Event Space and the Pitch Area.

From the prestigious student Capstone Design events that attract thousands of attendees to our many industry partner events, this space will see a lot of action and interaction!

The Engineering Ideas Clinic space also occupies part of the second floor. Hands-on learning is essential to an engineering education.

The entrepreneurial ecosystem at Waterloo Engineering is strengthened by having the Conrad Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology Centre on the second floor.

Entrepreneurial DNA? Adjoining the Atrium space in Engineering 7 will be a Pitch Area, the perfect stage for students to unveil design projects and pitch business ideas to potential funders and industry partners.

The first degree of its kind in Canada, Mechatronics is our model of integrative learning. Its success means we are dramatically expanding the program. The third floor also contains an additive manufacturing (3D printing) facility, research labs, student garages (for project builds) graduate student and faculty offices plus two grand lecture halls.

Additive manufacturing (3D printing) is changing how the world manufactures - from concept to commercialization, this technology is an area Waterloo Engineering researchers excel in.

Emerging and disruptive technologies are advances that will transform life, business and the global economy. The renowned Electrical and Computer Engineering program located on these two floors will heavily influence Canada's success in shaping the future of technology.

The garages are where the ideas become reality as the students build their projects in these fully equipped spaces. On the 4th and 5th floors, you will find our Electrical and Computer Engineering department.

Renowned for its information communications technology expertise, Waterloo Engineering is an important partner in Canada's quest for innovation excellence. E7 will provide for more student space and more research facilities.

Systems Design Engineering includes Biomedical Engineering, which is Waterloo Engineering's newest program (launched 2014).

The sixth floor features research labs, more garages, meeting spaces as well as graduate student and faculty offices.

Graduate Studies, Engineering Research and Waterloo Engineering's International office are located on the 7th floor along with administrative support and faculty hall.

Waterloo Engineering is Educating the Engineer of the Future.
