The new $11-million Gerald Hatch Centre for Engineering Experiential Learning building is coming along well.
In case you've been wondering what that structure is that is being built to the left side of JHE, it is a three-storey, 28,000-square-foot building, that will house engineering teams, clubs, societies, student support services and collaborative workspace.

The building is expected to be completed in early 2017.
"Equipped with meeting rooms, large building spaces and shared workspaces, the Hatch Centre has been designed as a hub for the Faculty’s 5,000 undergraduate engineering students to collaborate on projects and share ideas to foster experiential learning and support work being done in the classroom."
It's called the Gerald G. Hatch building because the late founder and first president of the global engineering consultancy Hatch generously donated $2 million toward the project and several Hatch employees and the company itself also contributed more than $1 million. Gennum Corporation co-founder Doug & June Barber contributed $1.5 million and former Chairman and CEO of the Timberland Group of Companies Walter G. Booth donated $1 million.
