Overview

This 14,125 square meter state-of-the-art research laboratory at the University of Regina was designed to achieve remarkable energy-savings and was the first modern institutional green roof in southern Saskatchewan.

The building includes research labs and shared lab support for four departments, researcher offices and lounges, science stores, student study lounges, meeting / seminar rooms, and a 160-seat theatre.

The 5-storey atrium is a primary public space on campus and a signature architectural element.

The aim of the project was to be sustainable, highly flexible, and to provide a superior collaborative work environment. This was achieved through a thorough understanding of each lab requirements, stakeholder interviews, and full-scale mock-ups.
