The George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre is a 4-story building that is part of Toronto Metropolitan University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Initially, in 2000, Santiago Calatrava proposed that the engineering building be 33 floors. The cost was $90 million and $25 million over the university's budget.[http://theeyeopener.com/2008/04/dont-fuck-this-up/ "Don't fuck this up"], The Eyeopener, April 8, 2008

Completed in 2004 by Moriyama & Teshima Architects, the state-of-the-art building cost $45 million to complete.

The building houses the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science Dean's Office, the First Year Engineering Office{{Cite web|url=https://www.ryerson.ca/engineering-architectural-science/current-undergraduate/first-year-engineering-office/|title=First-Year Engineering Office|publisher=Ryerson University|accessdate=September 18, 2019}}{{Dead link|date=May 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} and the offices for the Departments of Aerospace Engineering;{{Cite web|url=https://www.ryerson.ca/aerospace/undergraduate/|title=Undergraduate|publisher= Ryerson University|accessdate=September 18, 2019}} Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering;{{Cite web|url=https://www.ee.ryerson.ca/people/index.html|title=FACULTY & STAFF- Department of Electrical, Computer & Biomedical Engineering - Ryerson|publisher= Ryerson University|accessdate=September 18, 2019}} Computer Science;{{Cite web|url=https://www.scs.ryerson.ca/contact.php|title=Department of Computer Science |publisher= Ryerson University|accessdate=September 18, 2019}} and Mathematics.{{Cite web|url=https://math.ryerson.ca/about/contactus.html|title=Department of Mathematics |publisher= Ryerson University|website=|accessdate=September 18, 2019}}
