INNOVATION UNVEILED<br />
GEORGE BROWN COLLEGE celebrated<br />
the grand opening of its<br />
new Culinary Research Innovation<br />
Labs at the Centre for Hospitality<br />
& Culinary Arts in September. The<br />
event was attended by industry<br />
partners, donors and friends of<br />
George Brown College, who were<br />
treated to tours of the new facilities,<br />
as well as food and drinks. “We are celebrating the launch of new facilities that<br />
will help expand George Brown’s applied-research capacity and infrastructure while<br />
enabling the development of safe, innovative and affordable new food-and-beverage<br />
products,” said Anne Sado, president, George Brown College. “Acting as a hub for<br />
experiential learning, these applied-research facilities will expose our students to<br />
real-world challenges and projects, allowing them to become flexible innovators and<br />
problem solvers. At the same time, they will provide vital support to Ontario’s small<br />
and medium-sized food-and-beverage businesses — offering product-development<br />
opportunities that range from product and market research to commercialization.”<br />
The new additions include a showcase kitchen and state-of-the-art research<br />
labs, including a baking lab, innovation pod and chocolate lab. The creation of<br />
these facilities was supported by a $7-million investment from Federal Economic<br />
Development Agency for Southern Ontario, as well as contributions from donors<br />
and members of the food-and-beverage industry. — Danielle Schalk<br />
