Simon Fraser University is moving forward with the expansion of its Surrey campus, with a $126-million investment for a new building announced today by the federal and provincial governments.

The governments will provide a combined $90 million in funding while the remainder will come from SFU and private donors. The announcement was made today at the Surrey campus by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, together with B.C.’s Premier Christy Clark and SFU President Andrew Petter.

The five-storey, 15,000-square-meter building will house a proposed Energy Systems and Environmental Engineering Program, an interdisciplinary engineering stream that will support the clean tech and sustainable energy sector.

SFU will also expand its research capacities in clean tech and will work with the City of Surrey and other public and private sector partners in research and commercialization. The building will also support SFU’s Mechatronic Systems Engineering (MSE) program to accommodate research as well as space dedicated to student entrepreneurship through SFU’s Technology Entrepreneurship@SFU program.

This is the first of a three-phase academic expansion plan for SFU Surrey. Further programs in health systems innovation and creative technologies will follow as provincial funding becomes available.

The building represents the first major step in expanding the Surrey campus beyond its current home in the Central City complex. Embedded in Surrey’s emerging City Centre, it will strengthen SFU’s mission to be Canada’s ‘engaged university’.

“Surrey has been SFU’s top priority for expansion, and we hugely appreciate the government support announced today,” says SFU President Andrew Petter.“This state-of-the-art facility will enable our students and researchers to gain the knowledge and skills required to help British Columbia and Canada become innovation leaders in the clean tech and sustainable energy sector.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, together with B.C. Premier Christy Clark, Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner and SFU President Andrew Petter, learn more about the HAWgen, a portable water generator, from co-creator Majid Bahrami, during a tour of research demos prior to the building announcement.
