UBC Biological Sciences Renew
January 2011
Fast and Furious
Construction is running at a fast and
furious pace on the $45-million
Biological Sciences Complex renewal at the University of British Columbia. The LEED Gold project is being constructed using
double-shifts to meet governmental stimulus completion requirements for March 2011.
The project includes the renewal of
175,000 sq. ft. of the west and
south wings of the existing
1960s Biological Sciences Complex to
house the Departments of
Botany and Zoology.
Climbing plants springing
from a bio-swale and backlit
large-scale zoological images
screened onto glass will signal
the uses contained within.
