Montreal, Quebec
Concordia University is planning to construct the Centre for Structural and Functional Genomics (CSFG) in Montreal, Quebec. Supported by $30 million in federal and provincial funding through the Knowledge Infrastructure Program, the facility will be constructed as a 5,400-sm wing attached to the existing Richard J. Renaud Science Complex on the Loyola Campus. The Genomics Centre will house interdisciplinary laboratories for the study of genomics, systems biology, biotechnology, and bioinformatics. The project will also support discoveries in crop science, cellulosic biofuels, biomass conversion, and alternative energy sources. Construction is expected to begin in early 2010 and reach completion in spring of 2011.
