Project: Renewal and improvement of several 40-year-old buildings
Total Project Cost:
$42,462,500
Total KIP Funding:
$20,962,500
Status of Project: Substantially completed
Project Description
This project involves renewal of six campus buildings that are, on average, 40 years old. These buildings include Cornett, Clearihue, Elliot, MacLaurin, Cunningham and the University Centre. The project involves expanding research facilities, renovating laboratories, replacing building systems and implementing seismic upgrades.
Primary Areas of Benefit
- Expands or enhances utility of research and development space: This project supports research by increasing and improving laboratory space.
- Upgrades health and safety aspects of facilities: This project improves the health and safety of the facility by addressing various issues including removing hazardous materials and upgrading fire protection systems.
- Improves energy efficiency: Renovations implemented such as upgrades to HVAC systems, mechanical systems and physical infrastructure (windows and light fixtures) in each of the 6 buildings significantly reduced the overall energy requirements and will result in an estimated reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of around 700 tonnes per year.
