The Lassonde School of Engineering is a professional engineering school of York University located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The school's stated goal is to create so-called "renaissance engineers," entrepreneurial engineers with a social conscience and a sense of global citizenship. Lassonde also incorporates crossover programming with York University’s Schulich School of Business and Osgoode Hall Law School to study law, business and entrepreneurship alongside the engineering program.
The Lassonde School of Engineering was established in November 2011 with funding from founding donor Pierre Lassonde, the Government of Ontario and York University. Former students in Engineering, Computer Science and Earth & Atmospheric Science programs from the Faculty of Science and Engineering formally joined the Lassonde School of Engineering on May 1, 2013.
The Founding Dean of the Lassonde School of Engineering is Janusz A. Kozinski.
On April 8, 2016 Bergeron Centre for Engineering Excellence opened as the home of the Renaissance Engineer. The building, designed by Greg Woods for ZAS Architects has no lecture halls and is modelled after the flipped classroom concept. The façade was designed by Dieter Janssen in collaboration with Mesh Consultants and Blackwell Engineering.
The Lassonde School of Engineering was created in November 2011. In May 2013 students and faculty members in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Department of Earth & Space Science & Engineering (both previously part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at York University) joined the Lassonde School of Engineering.
