The Centre for Advanced Research and Innovation in Biotechnology Labs emerged as part of the expansion of existing laboratories at Fanshawe College. The facility advances biotechnological research in food science, innovation, and processing in collaboration with industry partners. The renovation added 1200 square metres of new instructional space to support industry-driven research, including new biosafety tissue culture facilities, teaching and instrumentation labs, and ancillary support spaces. The design accommodates barrier-free accessibility features such as height adjustable benches and fume hoods.
