The Collingwood Library offers extensive mathematics resources in a quiet, well-equipped space. The MAGIC Room (Mathematics Access Grid Instruction and Collaboration) enables virtual teaching and academic exchange. The Hazan Venture Lab supports students and graduates to build innovative, world-changing startups.
