Located at the UBC bus exchange, Gateway North is a seven-storey mixed-use facility that will provide state-of-the-art GMP labs and shell wet labs for cutting-edge scientific research on the upper levels. Large planes of white masonry wall, split with ribbons of glass bookend a highly glazed facade that reveals activities taking place within. A chamfered corner leads to a double-height feature stair that marks the entrance to a grocery store on the second floor. Two retail units at grade are oriented toward the bus exchange. A soaring mechanical penthouse and sculptural stacks cap the building, announcing its advanced science purpose and distinguishing Gateway North in the UBC skyline.
