A landmark building on Main Mall of the University of British Columbia housing a public museum, a laboratory and office wing. This facility is home for both the Biodiversity Research Centre and the Beaty Biodiversity Museum which features a massive glass atrium to showcase an 85 foot long skeleton of a blue whale and a 30,000 sq.ft. living roof to support aquatic plants and insects while reducing storm water runoff. Extensive coordination and scheduling was done surrounding this element of the building to ensure a successful outcome was achieved.
