The '''George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre''' is a 4-story building that is part of [[Toronto Metropolitan University]] in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], Canada.

Initially, in 2000, [[Santiago Calatrava]] proposed that the engineering building be 33 floors. The cost was $90 million and $25 million over the university's budget.<ref>[http://theeyeopener.com/2008/04/dont-fuck-this-up/ "Don't fuck this up"], ''The Eyeopener'', April 8, 2008 </ref>

Completed in 2004 by [[Moriyama & 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<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ryerson.ca/engineering-architectural-science/current-undergraduate/first-year-engineering-office/|title=First-Year Engineering Office|publisher=Ryerson University|accessdate=September 18, 2019}}{{Dead link|date=May 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> and the offices for the Departments of Aerospace Engineering;<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ryerson.ca/aerospace/undergraduate/|title=Undergraduate|publisher= Ryerson University|accessdate=September 18, 2019}}</ref> Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering;<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ee.ryerson.ca/people/index.html|title=FACULTY & STAFF- Department of Electrical, Computer & Biomedical Engineering - Ryerson|publisher= Ryerson University|accessdate=September 18, 2019}}</ref> Computer Science;<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.scs.ryerson.ca/contact.php|title=Department of Computer Science |publisher= Ryerson University|accessdate=September 18, 2019}}</ref> and Mathematics.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://math.ryerson.ca/about/contactus.html|title=Department of Mathematics |publisher= Ryerson University|website=|accessdate=September 18, 2019}}</ref>
