University of Victoria Opens Computer Science Facility
Published October 2006
VICTORIA, B.C., CANADA -
The University of Victoria opened its new $25-million Engineering/Computer Science building in British Columbia in fall of 2006. Designed for sustainability with extensive use of natural light, the six-story, 8,975-square meter facility houses classrooms, teaching labs, lecture halls, and offices. The building features a dual plumbing system that utilizes recycled water from the aquatics facility, low-flush toilets and faucets, waterless urinals, and an HVAC heat recovery system that uses the same water for heating and cooling. The sustainable design features of the building may result in a cost savings of over $6 million over five years and save 2.7 million liters of water annually.
