Honouring Professor Jim Ford

For more than 30 years, Professor Ford taught chemical engineering at the University of Waterloo, specializing in heat transfer and solid-gas reactions.

Under the leadership of Norman Lockington and Barry Kemble, the class of 1973 chemical engineering raised funds to name the second floor undergraduate seminar room in honour of Professor Jim Ford.

Professor Ford’s legacy as an empathetic role model and coach who reinforced leadership values during his time as Associate Chair of Undergraduate Studies will live on through the naming of this classroom.
