A remarkable state-of-the-art facility designed for the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. This 480,000 sq. ft. building, designed by HOK and Hearn/Fougere Architecture, is inspired by the natural beauty of Newfoundland, specifically its icebergs. The facility's layout and design encourage collaboration between research, teaching, and laboratory spaces.

The integration of modern features such as flexible furniture, pod workstations, and flat panel screens fosters group work and provides an innovative environment for students and researchers. The labs are equipped with specialized equipment, and the presence of facilities like the Cryogenics Facility and Aquatics Facility supports cutting-edge research. Additionally, the Ocean Frontier Institute, a major international research initiative, is housed in the building.

The project features advanced laboratory fume hoods and furniture that enhances both functionality and user experience. High-efficiency RFV2™ fume hoods ensure safety and effective ventilation, while the Observation2™ fume hoods are designed with side and back viewing windows, allowing natural light to enter the workspace and creating a more inviting and visually appealing environment.

Flexible Optima™ benches provides adaptable workspaces that can be easily reconfigured for various research needs. Custom-designed casework from Mott Manufacturing further complements the facility's design, offering durable and efficient storage solutions that maximize workspace utility and flexibility.
