This hybrid Mass Timber slab project at UBC’s Point Grey campus will co-locate and consolidate teaching, research and administrative space for the School of Nursing and the School of Kinesiology, research space for Language Science, the UBC Integrated Health and Wellbeing Services and the UBC Health Team-Based Primary Care Teaching Clinic Prototype.
The building program is a mix of space types ranging from wet and dry laboratories, clinical spaces, lecture theatres and classrooms, gym and fitness facilities and office and administrative uses. The project is also seeking to meet the CaGBC Net Zero Building Standard, which includes passive design strategies such as high-performance envelope, high-efficiency mechanical systems, and reduced embodied carbon.
