The government of Ontario has provided $4.2 million to build a hi-tech manufacturing facility at Niagara College in St Catharines.
The Niagara College Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre will provide Ontario-based manufacturers with access to state-of-the-art equipment and research facilities, as well as the expertise and business services of faculty and students.
“Investing in modern, innovative facilities like the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre is vital to Ontario’s future economic growth. By connecting students with local businesses, this centre will provide them with the hands-on applied learning they need in the 21st century knowledge economy, while boosting productivity for manufacturers,” said Reza Moridi, Ontario’s minister of training, colleges and universities.
