Biosciences and Technology Convergence Centre

This $16 million Biosciences and Technology Convergence Centre, located on the campus of Algoma University in Sault Ste Marie, will bring together teaching, research and commercial activities in a dynamic atmosphere to foster innovation and growth.

Along with teaching and faculty research labs, established enterprises, like the internationally recognised Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre, will anchor the facility. Another tenant will be the newly-launched Algoma Games for Health, a design studio bringing computer games technology to the delivery of health care and rehabilitation services. Algoma Games for Health will provide research and development expertise to both for-profit and non-profit organizations.

Algoma University has received federal and provincial funding totalling $16 million through the Knowledge Infrastructure Program and Ontario’s 2009 Budget to construct the Biosciences and Technology Convergence Centre.
