====Energy Research Centre==== The Energy Research Centre (ERC) is a 9,290-square-metre, four-storey facility focusing on clean energy technologies that houses Ontario Tech's nuclear engineering undergraduate program, the only program of its kind in Canada. This building is used for research in geothermal, hydraulic, hydrogen, natural gas, nuclear, solar, and wind energy technologies. The ERC is the result of a joint $45.4-million investment from the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario as part of the Knowledge Infrastructure Program.<ref name="uoit.ca">{{cite web |title=Energy Systems and Nuclear Science Research Centre |url=https://uoit.ca/about/campus-buildings/north-oshawa/erc.php |access-date=22 June 2019}}</ref> The ERC contains a 72-seat lecture theatre, three 50-seat classrooms, two 30-seat tutorial rooms with flexible seating, 11 student-study (breakout) rooms, 12 labs, dedicated working stations for graduate students, and administrative space and offices for staff and faculty. One of the more notable labs is an extensive nuclear power plant computer simulation, the most extensive of its kind.<ref name="uoit.ca"/> The second, third, and fourth floors of the ERC have indoor connections to the adjacent Business and Information Technology building.<ref name=infra /> The ERC features a glass-covered atrium with a large hanging metal-wire sculpture of [[Northern Dancer]], the famous, award-winning Canadian horse from [[Windfields Farm]]. Ontario Tech and Durham College purchased the core area of Windfield Farms in 2013, including the site where Northern Dancer was buried; the sculpture is a tribute.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://oshawaexpress.ca/whats-next-for-windfield-farms/|website=The Oshawa Express|title=What's next for Windfield Farms?|date=September 11, 2018}}</ref>
