Fanshawe College, Canadian Centre for Product Validation
The Canadian Centre for Product Validation is a one-of-a-kind facility offering a comprehensive prototyping and test facility in one central location. The 20,000-square-foot Centre is located at the Advanced Manufacturing Park where a 10-acre parcel of land was generously donated by the City of London to Fanshawe College.
The first phase of this project was the construction of a 20,000 square foot building comprised of a two-storey office space totaling approximately 2000 square feet with attached single-storey, industrial high-bay space of approximately 18,000 square feet.
The Centre presented a unique opportunity for Fanshawe to create a culture of excellence that houses leading-edge equipment; build on promising new technologies; support business innovation by helping small and medium-sized enterprises bring new technologies, products and processes to the marketplace; and more importantly, provide the training needed to connect students with available jobs in a wide-range of skilled professions such as electricians, carpenters, engineers and more.
The Centre creates positive opportunities for all the partners involved. It supports active collaboration between colleges and industry in pursuit of research and development projects that will answer company needs, helping firms become more innovative and productive, thereby supporting government efforts at all three levels to stimulate the economy and bring much-needed prosperity to our region and country.
It is estimated that this project has 49% annual potable water savings, 26% annual energy cost savings, 75% construction waste diversion, 20% recycled content, and 30% regional content.
