“In the long term the reconstruction of the mammoth’s movements can help scientists better understand extinction,” said U of O professor Clement Bataille
Advanced Research Complex
A building that is only typically seen by researchers, the Fulcrum was given a tour of the Advanced Research Complex by Dr. Ian Clark.
While the U of O wasn’t recognized for their research projects through this prestigious federal grant, there are so many innovative projects in the works across campus that, according to the Fulcrum, deserve funding.
To the surprise of many, it looks like change might finally be coming to the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO).
The university unveiled the new $70-million facilities Sept. 30. The sense of pride amongst the crowd was palpable, said physics professor Paul Corkum.
Regardless of how you may feel about student government, when the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO) protests tuition fee increases, they are accurately representing the views of the majority of the student body. However, at the recent SFUO-led protest requesting a drop in tuition fees at the opening of the Advanced Research Complex (ARC), many students feel their interests were not well represented. Not because they wish for tuition to continue rising, but because they feel this particular protest was inappropriate and ineffective. And that it was.
Executive members of the SFUO showed up at the unveiling of the Advanced Research Complex (ARC) to demand the Ontario government to drop student tuition fees and further invest in post-secondary education.
The University of Ottawa is now the proud owner of a $5-million accelerated mass spectrometer (AMS) located in the Advanced Research Complex (ARC). The AMS, the only one in Canada and one of a handful in North America, required specific technicians for its assembly and a crane to move its eight-ton magnet.
“ARC says something about where the university currently is and where it is going,” said Mona Nemer, vice president of research at the U of O.
