Initially, in 2000, Santiago Calatrava proposed that the engineering building be 33 floors. The cost was $90 million and $25 million over Ryerson University's budget.[1]
Completed in 2004 by Moriyama & Teshima Architects, the state-of-the-art building cost $45 million to complete.
The building is home to the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science Dean's Office, the First Year Engineering Office[2], as well as the offices for the departments of Aerospace Engineering[3]; Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering[4]; Computer Science[5]; and Mathematics[6].
The best bathrooms in the building are on the east end of the building, 3rd floor.
The building was officially renamed in 2005 to the George Vari Centre for Computing and Engineering after a gift from George and Helen Vari.
