| University of Calgary West Campus Development – Calgary, AB | |
 |
The University of Calgary West Campus Development Plan is a critical component to the future expansion of the University and the location of the New Alberta Children’s Hospital. Addressing the needs of the adjacent communities as the facility expands is one of the goals driving future development. The West Campus will be composed of a new Alberta Children’s Hospital, medical research facilities, student housing, conference centres and a network of green spaces and sports fields. Planning for the new campus was facilitated through a number of visioning sessions and community forums. |
| Simon Fraser University TASC2 Precinct - Burnaby, BC | |
 |
SFU has issued a master plan for the Technology and Science Complex Precinct in the south east campus. As architect for one of the buildings in the
precinct, TASC2 Laboratory, our team retained separately to study potential future expansion
options for the TASC2 building and an adjacent building as part of the precinct master plan. |
| False Creek Research Park - Vancouver, BC | |
 |
Research is growing rapidly in the private sector. Our team was retained to prepare a master plan for a large land parcel in the city of Vancouver. This area would provide 4 buildings in a research setting for private technology firms to occupy. One building is complete and another has begun construction. |
| Technology Enterprise Facility 3, UBC Campus - Vancouver, BC | |
 |
Discovery Parks Trust has developed three private research facilities on the University
of British Columbia Campus. As architect for these facilities our team was engaged to establish a
masterplan for the three buildings with consideration of future growth, building area potential
and integration as part of the UBC fabric. |
| Justice Institute of British Columbia - Maple Ridge, BC | |
 |
The JIBC Maple Ridge Campus is a unique fire and safety training centre located in a naturally
forested rural area. As master planners for the campus, our team prepared a plan that accommodates teaching
training props and support buildings with the idea of creating a "rural village" scale and ambience. |
| UNBC Master Plan Update, UNBC Campus - Prince George, BC | |
 |
The initial master plan for the University of Northern British Columbia is reflected in the current built campus. On completion of the first phase of construction, the UNBC has

Architect capacity on campus planning issues. |
| Technology Place Master Plan, BCIT Campus - Burnaby, BC | |
 |
A feasibility study of 3 storey high technology tenant buildings on the BCIT campus. Total floor area of the entire complex is comprised of one 43,000 sf building and two 34,000 sf
buildings. The first building was completed March, 2000. Challenges included accommodating parking needs as well as integrating into the existing campus. |
| Ladner Reach Properties - Delta, BC | |
 |
A site with excellent views along the Fraser River in Delta, BC involved 23
acres comprising a master plan and concepts for floating homes, low density
residential and recreational development. |
| Atcan Business Park - Burnaby, BC | |
 |
This business park is on 28 acres of land along the shore of the Fraser River in Burnaby. The property was owned by Atkinson Canada, and occupied by
Commonwealth Construction, IWS, and other firms. This design was for the development of the business park to accommodate additional high technology based industries. |
| KAON Factory Study, UBC - Vancouver, BC | |
 |
The new KAON Factory at the University of British Columbia was to be located at
the existing TRIUMF site but would have involved a massive enlargement of the
existing Meson Facility, undertaking particle physics research utilizing an
underground accelerator ring. On completion, the facility would have been one of
only two pion therapy locations in the world and would have kept Canada in the
forefront of world intermediate energy research. |
