About the Masonry Centre
We innovate. We build.
The Masonry Centre is a research group that is the first of its kind in Canada to conduct critical, multidisciplinary research, teaching and training in order to develop safer, smarter and greener infrastructure using masonry materials.
Masonry is a time-tested material that offers an unparalleled combination of strength and environmental performance, and the Centre’s research aims to unlock its full potential for the benefit of Canadian society. Our students train with our world-class faculty, and use the latest tools for design, analysis, and computer simulation. Armed with these skills and knowledge, they go on to develop the next generation of masonry structures.
