Researchers, faculty, administrators and staff working in the York Research Tower gathered on May 4 to celebrate the new building\u2019s role in fostering social science and humanities research across York University (all speaker videos are available in the Research Multimedia Centre<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Above: The York Research Tower, which opened in September 2009, features\u00a0some 84,000 square feet of space and houses 12 research centres and two research project teams<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u201cYork is a leading university in social sciences and humanities research, and nothing proves that more than a peer-review process,\u201d said Mamdouh Shoukri, York's president\u00a0& vice-chancellor, referencing the recent successes of York researchers in securing a Killam Prize<\/a>, two out of four of the Social Sciences\u00a0& Humanities Research Council of Canada\u2019s (SSHRC) Major Collaborative Research Initiative awards<\/a>, and a SSHRC Community-University Research Award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>\u201cBut having excellent researchers puts another level of responsibility on the University, which is to make absolutely sure that we have the environment and the support they need to reach their potential,\u201d he said. \u201cThis building represents York\u2019s commitment to building a research culture for success.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 10-storey building, which recently received\u00a0Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED)\u00a0Silver Certification<\/a>, opened in September 2009 and\u00a0features approximately 84,000 square feet (net) with wireless Internet access. It currently houses 12 research centres and two research project teams, and also provides office space for the Knowledge Mobilization (KMb) Unit<\/a> and Advanced Broadband Enabled Learning<\/a> (ABEL) group, which provide support services for researchers. The Office of the Vice-President, Research & Innovation, Office of Research Ethics and Office of Research Services occupy the fifth floor, along with extensive conference and meeting facilities (full occupant list<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think this is the best facility for social science and humanities research in the country, and our researchers deserve it,\u201d said Stan Shapson (left), vice-president research\u00a0& innovation. \u201cIn addition to many new technologies, it\u2019s built on the Greek agora model of community that allows researchers to come together and collaborate, both with researchers across the University and with external groups. Some of the issues they\u2019re studying can\u2019t be solved in isolation. No one has all the knowledge or the strategy to do it all\u00a0\u2013 we have to collaborate, which is also why we want the YRT to \"\"be a meeting place for the community to work with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chad Gaffield (left), president of SSHRC<\/a>, was also present for the event as part of a daylong visit to York\u2019s Keele campus. \u201cWe use e-communications to deepen and enrich relationships that are, at least periodically, complemented by physical contact,\u201d he said. \u201cThe genius of the YRT is its confirmation of the importance of creating face-to-face contact and then complementing those interactions through information communications technology. It\u2019s a new model of engaged scholarship and research.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Susan McGrath<\/a> (below, right), director of the Centre for Refugee Studies<\/a> on the research tower\u2019s eighth floor, spoke about the importance of creating neighbourhoods for researchers. Since moving into the building, McGrath has formed new research connections with peers in the York Centre for Asian Research<\/a>, the Centre for Research on Latin America & the Caribbean<\/a>, and CERIS\u00a0\u2013 The Ontario Metropolis Project<\/a>, all of which are her neighbours on the\u00a0eighth floor. \"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving neighbourliness, good meeting space and research resources under one roof is great,\u201d said McGrath. \u201cI hosted colleagues from all around the world here for a three-day session in the bright and spacious Conference Centre. With help from ABEL, we streamed parts of our meeting online, allowing those who weren\u2019t able to travel here opportunities to participate. The facilities are fostering our sense of research culture and allowing us to work more collaboratively than I think we would have without it.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Graduate students have also benefited from new space on floors six, seven and eight that was designed for them as researchers. \u201cWhen you walk around the building, you see graduate students everywhere,\u201d said Susan Henders<\/a>, director of the York\u00a0Centre for Asian Research<\/a>. \u201cThey\u2019re working on projects, relaxing in the lounges and interacting with their peers. It\u2019s quality space that brings them into the centres and fosters their work and professional development, complementing their graduate program training.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watch videos from the Research Tower opening<\/a>, with remarks from President & Vice-Chancellor Mamdouh Shoukri, Vice-President Research & Innovation Stan Shapson, SSHRC President Chad Gaffield, Professor Susan Henders and Professor Susan McGrath.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cOne student told me that having study space made him feel valued as a researcher and professional in the making,\u201d Henders continued. \u201cI want to commend the University for its foresight in recognizing the critical role graduate students play in organized research units and research on the campus.\u201d<\/p>\n
