Athabasca University Main Campus Laboratory Renovation
by Manasc Isaac Architects Ltd as Architects - Mon, 16 July 2012
The renovation of Athabasca University’s Science labs has provided staff and students with bright, spacious, inviting spaces within the existing building shell.
The project is a renovation of 745m² of the University’s main floor, transforming dark and dingy spaces into modern research and teaching labs and support spaces. Although much student work is done away from the Campus, using the lab kits prepared at the University, a portion of student course work is done on site. The new labs also provide staff with the facilities needed to pursue their own research.
A bright and attractive 30-student lab, for visiting student groups is complemented by research labs for Geology, Microbiology, Chemistry, Physics and Biology. An open area under the skylight adjacent to the mezzanine stairs was chosen as the location for “The Den”, a meeting area to foster informal connection between students and faculty, and encourage social engagement.
