Forum Session: Science teaching and research -- success strategies for the main performance criteria

Connectivity, flexibility, sustainable design. Almost all new science buildings have three main performance objectives - people connectivity, science flexibility, and sustainable design. Attend this session to benchmark your plans against science research and teaching facility success features of building projects at the University of Northern British Columbia and the University of British Columbia Okanagan. Here, session leaders detail success strategies involving vertical and horizontal integration, hub, node, and connector zones for interaction effectiveness, and flexibility strategies to achieve high performance design and optimum space utilization. They also examine cost impact, value to users and associated sustainable design thinking.

This session is approved by the AIA for continuing education credit.
