For the next 5 years, TMMC will also be the title sponsor of the university's annual AutoTech Symposium. The investment will launch an undergraduate engineering innova- tion challenge and support various student, research, and outreach initiatives. In recognition of the donation, a wing on the third floor of the university's Engineering 7 building will be renamed the Toy- ota Additive Manufacturing Wing. Fred Wolf, president of TMMC, says, "Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada has a long history with the University of Waterloo, and we look forward to extending this partner- ship by further investing in their important research and education. Toyota shares many of Waterloo Engineering's research priorities, and we're proud to be supporting them as they continue to drive engi- neering innovation forward."
