The **George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre** is a 4-story building that is part of [Toronto Metropolitan University](/source/Toronto_Metropolitan_University) in [Toronto](/source/Toronto), [Ontario](/source/Ontario), Canada.

Initially, in 2000, [Santiago Calatrava](/source/Santiago_Calatrava) proposed that the engineering building be 33 floors. The cost was $90 million and $25 million over the university's budget.[1]

Completed in 2004 by [Moriyama & Teshima Architects](/source/Moriyama_%26_Teshima_Architects), the state-of-the-art building cost $45 million to complete.

The building houses the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science Dean's Office, the First Year Engineering Office[2] and the offices for the Departments of Aerospace Engineering;[3] Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering;[4] Computer Science;[5] and Mathematics.[6]

The building was officially renamed in 2005 as the George Vari Centre for Computing and Engineering after a gift from [George](/source/George_Vari) and [Helen Vari](/source/Helen_Vari).
