GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN – 14e édition

Discipline : Architecture

Categories : Special Award / Building Renovation : Gold Certification

Categories : Public Building / Higher Education & Research Building : Silver Certification

Completed in 2020, the 5,960 square metre renewal refurbished a 1960s modernist building originally designed by Thompson Berwick and Pratt Architects on the University of British Columbia Point Grey Campus. The renewal included the reconfiguration of the six-storey classroom block to support contemporary pedagogy for the Department of Physics and Astronomy and features extensive transparency between collaborative teaching lab spaces. Key program elements include acoustic and optic labs, large format classrooms, a student learning centre, workshops, a rooftop telescope dome, lecture theatre, and a new pedestrian bridge link to the adjacent Hennings Building. The extensive renewal also included a full seismic upgrade, replacement of the building systems, elevator upgrades, and improvements to the building envelope.
