RRC Polytech celebrates the opening of new innovation centre

Red River College Polytechnic has opened its new $95.4M innovation centre to the public. The 100,000-square-foot facility can hold 1,200 people, and has 18 classrooms and five labs which will serve as learning spaces for programs at the Exchange District campus. Students will be able to engage in “reverse-practicums” through a space that has 18 offices situated around a common area. Offices will be given to entrepreneurs innovating in areas such as health, community, and government, who will use the space for four months and receive assistance from students in applied computer education.
