This leading BC research facility located in Vancouver, BC houses offices and research laboratories for the Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics (CMMT) and shares the remaining facilities related to pathology, research and DNA diagnosis. The project also provides significant education and presentation facilities, which serve the whole of the Oak Street hospital site.
The institute's 3-storey facility conforms to the BC Hydro Power Smart Program and has an area of 86,500 square feet. The setting of the building is in an extensively landscaped site on a major arterial street in close proximity to both the hospital and residential areas. The building has been designed for future expansion to the south to accommodate additional research facilities.
This project was undertaken as a joint venture by Musson Cattell Mackey/Zeidler Architects Inc. together with Stantec Architecture Ltd.
