In 2012, we decoupled from the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Science and became the Faculty of Science. As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we’re forging ahead to a bright future — from a new, strategic research plan to our upcoming, ultramodern home, the new Science Discovery Complex at 202 Jarvis St.

Join us as we highlight outstanding developments, special people, and countless success stories that make us proud to be TMU’s Faculty of Science.
