RESEARCH BUILDINGS

Chernoff Thompson Architects have designed numerous research buildings. We have also completed many laboratory interior projects for university, government and corporate clients. For additional laboratory and research facilities refer to the University and Laboratory pages.

A 3,344 sm research facility was constructed for Discovery Parks Incorporated on the University of British Columbia campus. The building accommodates tenants from the private sector who require both office and laboratory space for research.

A 5,017 sm, four-storey building, privately owned by Discovery Parks Incorporated and located on the University of British Columbia Campus. This facility was designed to accommodate a wide range of research organizations.

The first of two buildings scheduled for a site located on the False Creek Flats. Owned by Discovery Parks Incorporated, the 7,246 sm building is designed to support flexible spaces tailored to laboratory use having a high emphasis on wet labs.

This 10,498 sm six-storey building is the third Discovery Parks Trust multi-tenant research building on the UBC campus and integrates space designed for laboratory, office, retail and information technology use. Several tenants are UBC academic users. This facility is the first Silver LEED certified laboratory building in Canada.

TRIUMF, the particle physics research laboratory at the University of British Columbia expanded to create a new unique facility to produce intense beams of unstable isotopes to stay in the forefront of physics research.

This 557 sm Laboratory building at the Green Timbers reforestation site in Surrey provides facilities for the study of tree growth. The new building has a rural character to suit its forested site adjoining green houses and tree-farms.

A 3,159 sm, three-storey multi-tenant research building on the BCIT Campus incorporating photovoltaic panels and general "green design" principles. Owned by Discovery Parks Incorporated, this building provides flexible space for both dry and wet laboratory uses.

A two storey multi-tenant research facility for Discovery Parks Incorporated on the University of Victoria campus. It provides suitable floor to floor height and floor plate for laboratory layouts and support office space. Particular attention was placed on ensuring the new laboratory building fits into the existing context and relates to the surrounding university buildings.

A 6,875 sm multi-tenant facility designed to accommodate a range of potential uses including retail office and biotechnology research. The site is situated in a diverse neighbourhood that has a mix of residential and commercial uses. The building was designed to integrate with the existing scale and character of the neighbourhood. A key component of this project is the relocation and restoration of the "Shaw House", an existing heritage house on site.

Located on Enterprise Street in Burnaby, the $16 million building is 5,620 sm in size and comprised of research laboratories. The facilities include wet labs, a robotics lab and offices and is furnished with state of the art equipment including biosafety cabinets. This building was done in collaboration with SRG Partnership.
