The University of Guelph will turn its long-standing research prowess in pollinator health and conservation into North America\u2019s first one-stop shop for honey bee research, education and outreach.<\/p>\n

U of G is planning a new, $12-million facility aimed at helping understand the stressors affecting honey bees and other pollinators and finding solutions. <\/span><\/p>\n

A recent transformational gift from the Riviere Charitable Foundation will cover a substantial portion of the cost. A fundraising campaign has been launched to further support the initiative and raise an additional $6 million, https:\/\/alumni.uoguelph.ca\/honeybee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

U of G\u2019s history and reputation for honey bee research goes back more than 120 years. \u201cWe are uniquely positioned to help make a difference, and this donation recognizes and celebrates our research strength and our innovativeness to find sustainable solutions,\u201d said president Franco Vaccarino.<\/p>\n

An international design competition for the new centre was launched in January. A design jury selected Moriyama and Teshima Architects for the project, and the design concepts were announced this fall.<\/p>\n

The new centre will exemplify sustainability, including being built to LEED Gold standards and with elements such as natural ventilation and low-carbon construction. The University is considering locations on campus for the new facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur plan is to integrate the new centre within parts of U of G known for nature, food production and sustainability,\u201d said Rene Van Acker, dean of the Ontario Agricultural College.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new facility will house the existing Honey Bee Research Centre, which is home to North America\u2019s largest research and teaching apiary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
