Challenges and Solutions

• Integrating a cooling system terminal to laboratories.
• Innovating by integrating radiant heat tablets that reflect daylight inside, allowing full use of the floor perimeter without constraints.
• Design criteria including modularity and flexibility.
• Ventilated cage system for animals.
• Rainwater recovery system.
• Limitations on steam use.
• High energy consumption in laboratories.
• Generator for the total capacity of the building.
• Animal facilities (complexity, redundancy, etc.).
• Sector with a containment level 3 biological laboratory (CL3).
• Tall building above an existing parking garage.
• Construction on a protected site of Mount Royal and connected to existing campus installations (McIntyre and Stewart Buildings).
• Certified LEED-NC Gold.
