February 1. IRMaCS is pleased to announce the award, a Canada Foundation for Innovation grant, as part of a twelve million dollar project to build a unique world class Interdisciplinary Research facility in the Mathematical and Computational Sciences (IRMaCS).

At its core will be the strong research groups at Simon Fraser University in highly computational pure and applied mathematics and science. These groups of scientists and students span mathematics, statistics, computing science, computational biology, engineering, kinesiology and more. This grant will build (or renovate) and equip approximately 25,000 square feet of new and advanced research space.
