The University of Saskatchewan will begin construction on its new collaborative science research building this fall.
The facility is set to focus on climate change, plant, water and food security research.
“This building will allow us to bring in people that do high-level research for global food security and water security,” said Peter Stoicheff, president of the University of Saskatchewan.
“Students are able to attend a university who’s doing world-class research and this building will allow us to do that.”
The project will cost $63 million, $30 million coming from the federal government’s strategic investment fund (SIF). It’s expected to be complete by spring 2018.
Saskatchewan MP Ralph Goodale was on hand for the announcement Friday.
“We’ve tried to be equitable across the country with the SIF funding,” he said. “The competition was really strong, I’m very pleased with the contributions for Saskatchewan.”

The federal government will also give $1 million towards St. Thomas More College infrastructure and $815,000 for waste water treatment projects at St Peter’s College in Muenster, Sask.
