Discover Innovation and Sustainability at NSCC Ivany Campus and Invest NS Bays

 

Join us for an exclusive tour tailored for Smart Energy Conference Delegates at the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) Ivany Campus and the Invest NS Bays.

 

Nestled along the Dartmouth waterfront, the Ivany Campus offers breathtaking views of the Halifax city skyline. With its modern design, open spaces, and emphasis on sustainable building practices, the campus is a beacon of innovation and research. It houses the Centre for the Built Environment, various learning and research labs, and the Design and Innovation Centre, where entrepreneurs collaborate with researchers, engineers, and students to create tailored prototypes and automated processes.

 

Tour Highlights:

Applied Energy Research (AER) Lab:

Led by Dr. Wayne Groszko, the AER Lab focuses on solving energy issues, strengthening communities, and supporting the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future.

The team specializes in solar energy technologies, monitoring devices, and microgrids, working with local industry and community partners to reduce greenhouse gases.

Through grant-based research, the lab analyzes energy hardware, software, and data analytics to develop new energy products and services.

 

Engineered Technologies Applied Research Lab:

Under the leadership of Dr. Etienne Mfoumou, this lab offers cross-disciplinary design solutions that integrate engineering, biology, and innovative devices.

The lab's inclusive-design approach helps small and medium-sized enterprises in Nova Scotia advance their products and services.

 

Design and Innovation Centre:

A prototyping hub for research and development, where industry and entrepreneurs collaborate with researchers, engineers, and students.

Utilizing advanced design software, reverse engineering, and 3D printing technologies, including a metal 3D printer, the centre produces tailored prototypes and automated processes.

 

Invest NS Bays:
