Empowering students and researchers to solve global problems
Mathematics 4 (M4) will be a stunning five-storey, 120,000-square-foot building that will include classroom space, labs and a cutting-edge eco-friendly server room, called the Green Room.
More than a building, M4 is all about empowering our community by forging connections. Envision students, researchers, and community partners coming together in a lively environment where new ideas are sparked and collaborations are launched. Located at the heart of the math district on campus, M4 will ignite innovation at the crossroads of computer science, statistics, and mathematics and build solutions to challenges in sustainability, security, health and society.
You can help build Math 4 and unlock the full innovation potential of the Faculty of Mathematics. Make a gift and together we can shape a more sustainable, secure and prosperous future.Â

Incredible developments are occurring at the intersection of computer science, statistics and mathematics. Data science and AI, security and privacy, and quantitative finance, to name three, are reshaping society. Other universities are creating new institutes and centres to bring these disciplines together. But here at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ, in North America’s only Faculty of Mathematics, these disciplines have been united for decades. Mathematics 4 will bolster our strengths in these areas and accelerate world-changing research and education.
