Your Future in Mathematics

M4 rendering

Mathematics 4 (M4) will be a stunning five-storey, 120,000-square-foot building that will include classroom space, labs and a cutting-edge eco-friendly server room, called the Green Room. M4 will empower our students and researchers to solve the world’s most pressing problems in sustainability, security, health and society.

You can help build Math 4 and unlock the full innovation potential of the Faculty of Mathematics. Make a gift and together we can shape a more sustainable, secure and prosperous future.

Incredible developments are occurring at the intersection of computer science, statistics and mathematics. Data science and AI, security and privacy, and quantitative finance, to name three, are reshaping society. Other universities are creating new institutes and centres to bring these disciplines together. But here at Waterloo, in North America’s only Faculty of Mathematics, these disciplines have been united for decades. Mathematics 4 will bolster our strengths in these areas and accelerate world-changing research and education.

Advances in sustainable computing

Researchers from the University of Waterloo have found a way to reduce the energy use of some data centres by as much as 30 per cent.

M4 will provide our students with dynamic classrooms, lounges and event spaces that will allow them to explore, create and collaborate on a whole new level. It will equip researchers and students with powerful computational tools and state-of-the-art lab spaces that will accelerate their world-changing research–particularly in fields like data science and AI. And it will unite our whole math community, forging new connections at the intersection of disciplines and bridging academia, industry and government to achieve global impact.
