environment
UOIT’s ultra-modern four-storey Science building features
state-of-the art laboratories and classrooms. Some of the
laboratory equipment used by our faculty’s undergraduate
students is so innovative that it is not used by students at
other universities until graduate school! Examples of these
facilities include:
• The Laboratory for Advanced User Interfaces and Virtual
Reality, which provides a range of specialized equipment
for 3D graphics, user interface and haptics research;
• The Aquatic Toxicology Lab, a leading-edge 20,000-litre
wet lab;
• The Computer Science Lab, which houses workstations,
servers and other equipment such as a DELL PowerEdge
2950 and embedded wireless environmental sensors;
• The Crime Scene House Lab, an actual house retrofitted
with mock crime scenes and used in the Forensic Science
program. It was the first such facility in Ontario; and
• The Mobile and Pervasive Computing Lab, an advanced
high-performance computing infrastructure that supports
pervasive and ubiquitous computing.
