THE NEXT CHAPTER
OF THE ENGINEER-
ING PROFESSION
The progressive Lassonde
School of Engineering is on
track to open the doors to its
new building on September
1
st
, 2015, and will drive aca-
demia forward through a bold
new interface. Its visible pres-
ence will change York Univer-
sity’s position in the educa-
tion hierarchy, exceptional
programs will craft the bright-
est minds of tomorrow, and
the inimitable design breaks
the mold in architectural nov-
elty. As Kozinski notes, “We
are contributing to the re-
source that is most valuable
to Canada, which isn’t natural
resources, oil or gold, but¬
people—and in particular
young people.”
