Exceptional office and industrial spaces specifically designed to stimulate collaboration between Park-based researchers and industry.

The WindEEE (Wind Engineering, Energy and Environment) Dome is the world’s first hexagonal wind chamber, allowing researchers to address scientific, economic, and societal challenges related to wind.

At 25 meters in diameter for the inner dome and 40 meters in diameter for the outer dome, the WindEEE Dome facility can physically simulate high intensity wind systems which cannot be created in any existing wind tunnels.

This Western University facility is at the forefront of international research into how to build structures and cities strong enough to withstand our changing climate. Researchers at the WindEEE Dome can replicate complex wind systems such as tornadoes, downbursts and hurricanes, and use 3-D printed models of buildings and other structures to test resilience against controlled blasts of wind.

The Fraunhofer Innovation Platform for Composites Research (FIP-Composites at Western) is a joint venture between Western University and the Fraunhofer Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) in Pfinztal, Germany.

With over 20,000 square feet of space, this world-renowned facility develops, tests, validates, and characterizes new lightweight materials and advanced manufacturing processes at industrial scale.

By combining Fraunhofer’s latest global technologies and Western’s strengths in material engineering, FIP-Composites at Western proactively addresses the needs of its industry partners. That could include your business too, as part of the Western Advanced Manufacturing Park business community.
