The University of Western Ontario, home to Canada's best student experience, celebrates the Grand Opening of the impressive Materials Science Addition. The student-centered MSA houses state-of-the-art, first-year chemistry and physics teaching laboratories as well as research facilities. The 45,000-square-foot, $15-million addition was designed with an open concept to provide transparency not only to visitors and the public, but also between the Departments of Chemistry and Physics & Astronomy.
