“North America’s Most Energy Efficient Lab Building” (LEED Gold)
By adopting LEAN
project delivery our team was able to develop a unique design to target cost
and deliver what we think might be North America’s Most Energy efficient
laboratory building with less than a 2% contingency. This was made possible by
early engagement of a relational contracting team, jointly developed project
requirement, collaborative decision making, open communications and early
acceptance of the risks associated with getting in the ground early before we
had completed the design.
The innovative high
performance laboratory design includes a Red-Yellow-Green light variable flow
lab system with fume hood exhaust heat recovery and secondary use of office
air.
The project also needed
to provide WOW in the Architecture as the requirements called for it a signature
GREEN building. The project was delivered on a very low budget of $320
psf, which is exceptional for a building with 65 fume hoods, 70% laboratory
space, a vivarium and a green house.
