October 14, 2009: Concordia receives nearly $69 million for research infrastructure from the Governments of Canada and Québec: "The Structural and Functional Genomics Centre will be built thanks to a grant of $29,345,000. This funding comes in addition to significant recent grants to Concordia from the federal and provincial governments for research in environmental genomics. The centre supports fundamental and applied research on crop improvement and sustainable biotechnology. Current large scale projects include research into alternative energy sources and bioproducts that aim to secure Canada's future bioeconomy. The university plans to house the centre in a new wing to be built onto the Richard J. Renaud Science Complex on the Loyola Campus."

14 octobre 2009: L'Université Concordia reçoit près de 69 millions de dollars des gouvernements du Canada et du Québec en infrastructures de recherche: "Le Centre de génomique structurale et fonctionnelle bénéficiera d'une subvention de 29 345 000 $. Cette somme s'ajoute à d'importantes subventions récemment accordées à l'Université Concordia par les gouvernements fédéral et provincial pour avancer la recherche en génomique environnementale. Le Centre mène d'ores et déjà des recherches fondamentales et appliquées sur l'amélioration des récoltes et les biotechnologies durables. Ses projets d'envergure actuels comprennent la recherche sur les sources d'énergie de remplacement et les bioproduits en vue de garantir la bioéconomie du Canada. L'Université prévoit aménager le centre dans une nouvelle aile du complexe des sciences Richard-J.-Renaud au campus Loyola."
Extrait du communiqué Entente Canada-Québec - Programme d'infrastructure du savoir - Les gouvernements du Canada et du Québec octroient près de 69 M$ pour trois projets à l'Université Concordia : "Le projet vise à agrandir le complexe des sciences Richard-J.-Renaud pour y loger le Centre de génomique structurale et fonctionnelle, ainsi qu'une salle de serveurs nécessaire à son fonctionnement. Le Centre de génomique structurale et fonctionnelle soutient la recherche multidisciplinaire à l'aide d'approches génomiques pour faire avancer la recherche biologique. Il occupe actuellement le complexe des sciences et l'espace libéré sera réaffecté à d'autres programmes de recherche. Cette nouvelle construction abritera également un centre informatique de secours pour l'Université."
