The Price Faculty of Engineering bears its name in recognition of transformative investments of more than $23.4 million from visionary philanthropists Gerry and Barb Price. In addition to creating seven endowed faculty member positions, the Price family’s donations have led to new and expanded facilities and funded scholarships and bursaries for women and Indigenous students in engineering.

Gerry Price was born in Winnipeg, and holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (1970) and Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (1972) from the University of Manitoba, as well as a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics from Lehigh University in Pennsylvania.

Price is the Chair and CEO of Price Industries, APEL Extrusions, AROW Global and Twa Panel Systems. He is a past and present board member of many community and charitable organizations.

Always passionate about supporting the University of Manitoba, Price served as Chair of the Manufacturing Division of fundraising for the Engineering & Information Technology Complex, was a founder and Board Member of the Friends of Engineering (Manitoba) Inc., the Partners Program in the Faculty of Architecture and The Associates of the I.H. Asper School of Business.
