Engineering 5 is an approximately 150,000 sq. ft. 6 storey academic and lab building for the engineering faculty and includes facilities for the electrical and computer engineering, mechanical and mechatronics engineering and systems engineering departments.

The building is constructed around a central 6 storey atrium and includes offices, support rooms, meeting rooms, classrooms, student computer spaces and other academic areas.

The building includes lab spaces for all faculties and included workshops, hoist bays, paint shop, engine test cells and other associated spaces for automotive engineering including facilities for hydrogen fuelled vehicles.  The building also included a 2,000 sq. ft. anechoic antenna test chamber for the Electromagnetic Radiation Laboratory, a division of the electrical and computer engineering department.  

In the centre of the building, the six-storey atrium with its innovative LED lit feature stair provides a panorama of the entire building program. The ceramic frit pattern on the building's glazed façade creates a bold three-dimensional graphic against which the highly transparent and boldly colored spaces of public movement and interaction are delineated.
