I dig it. It looks like the face of a giant Transformer rising out of the ground.

Its like UW week on the forum! This building is HUGE, its also LEED cert. and will have a green roof!
ENGINEERING V
"The six-storey building, to be erected in parking lot B located on the east side of campus, will feature glass walls, a designated green roof area and native landscaping. An enclosed pedestrian bridge will connect the building to the existing engineering complex.
Engineering V, the first of a two-phase building, will house a student design centre on its first two levels. The centre will showcase award-winning student engineering projects, such as the solar and hydrogen fuel cell cars.
"The heart of this building, one of the largest on campus, will be the new design centre for our outstanding student projects," said Adel Sedra, dean of the faculty of engineering. "We intend to make this the best undergraduate design facility in the world."
The upper four floors of the 176,000-square-foot (16,000-square-metre) building will provide much-needed office and teaching space in the faculty. The department of mechanical and mechatronics engineering will be located on the third floor; the fourth and fifth floors will accommodate the department of electrical and computer engineering. The department of systems design engineering will take up the sixth floor.
At its north end, the building will also contain an electromagnetic radiation laboratory, featuring an anechoic chamber. The chamber, a shielded room designed to attenuate radio frequency and microwaves, will be used for research in wireless communications."

Rowe (and other Waterlooesians): any week can be Waterloo week if you guys can take and post photos whenever there's a milestone...
Thanks in advance!

For a while they were talking about an entire building for Systems Design at the south end of the useless pedestrian bridge over University Avenue. That plan seems to have fallen by the wayside. I think Systems itself may be smaller now because of all of the new programs like Mechatronics.
