SARNIA, ON, CANADA – The University of Western Ontario Research Park is pleased to welcome NOVA Chemicals as the latest corporate tenant to join its growing Sarnia-Lambton Campus.
NOVA Chemicals is establishing a corporate services centre in Building 1040 of the Research Park’s Sarnia-Lambton Campus on Modeland Road in Sarnia, Ontario that will include members of NOVA’s Information Technology Group and Global Accounting Services. NOVA is the latest in a series of new tenants that have recently been added to the Research Park.
“The total number of tenant companies at the Sarnia-Lambton Campus has more than doubled in each of the past two years” said Joel Adams, Executive Director of the Research Park, “As a long-time community supporter of the Research Park, we are especially excited to welcome NOVA Chemicals and members of their team to our facilities.”
“As original participants in Sarnia-Lambton’s sustainability initiatives, NOVA provided strong support to the Research Park in its early days as we successfully raised our start-up funding from the Provincial and Federal governments. NOVA has also been an active sponsor at the Research Park’s annual Capstone Engineering Design Competition,” said Don Hewson, Managing Director of the Research Park’s Bowman Centre for Technology Commercialization in Sarnia.
Renovations, including energy saving retro-fits and other environmentally sustainable features, are currently being completed in time for a December 1, 2011 move-in date.
