The University of Lethbridge is constructing the CAD$280 million Destination Project in Alberta, Canada. Supporting multidisciplinary science programs, the 387,500-sf building will provide flexible teaching and research labs, academic classrooms, meeting rooms, gathering areas, and a central atrium. Designed to foster entrepreneurship and the commercialization of research discoveries, the facility will include incubator space for industry partners as well as a community education venue offering interactive science displays. PCL Construction is the general contractor for the project, which includes construction of a new central energy plant and renovation of the existing University Hall. A minimum of LEED Silver sustainable design certification will be sought for the facility, which will feature a global ventilation system utilizing highly efficient heat and humidity recovery technologies and smart ventilation pathways. Occupancy is expected in fall of 2019.
