Wednesday, May 4, 2016

Baylis Medical is donating $300,000 to support future innovations by University of Waterloo systems design and biomedical engineering students. The funding will be used for the Baylis Medical Student Garage to be located in University of Waterloo’s Engineering 7 building currently under construction.

The 1,010 square foot garage, to be the largest student garage in the Engineering 7 building, will provide the systems design and biomedical engineering students with dedicated space to work on their senior year projects.

“The Baylis Medical Student Garage will be well used by our systems design and biomedical engineering students to create the next generation of medical devices,” said Pearl Sullivan, dean of Waterloo Engineering. “We are grateful to Baylis Medical for supporting our Educating the Engineer of the Future campaign. We are proud to name this exciting space after such an innovative company that leads the way in high-technology medical devices. We look forward to witnessing future innovations in this field by our students.”

Based on the success of the student team garages in the Faculty’s Engineering 5 building, the Baylis Medical Student Garage will provide systems design and biomedical engineering students with opportunities to create and innovate.

“Baylis is proud to be associated with one on the most innovative universities in North America. The Baylis Medical Student Garage will further the development of knowledge and resources toward educating the biomedical engineers of the future” says Kris Shah, President of Baylis Medical Company Inc. and a Waterloo Engineering graduate.

Baylis Medical’s pledge is one of the many financial contributions the company has made to the academic community.
