UBC Dairy Centre Student Residence
pROJECT Overview
The University of British Columbia’s Dairy Centre in the small community of Agassiz has a new residence building that provides comfortable housing for students and researchers to live on-site. The new residence is a 2-storey, 6,200 building designed by Vancouver-based LWPAC.
Energy Efficient
Innotech supplied Tilt + Turn Windows, Terrace Swing Doors, Tilt + Turn Doors and Tilt + Glide Doors for the project with a black exterior and white interior finish. The energy efficient windows and doors were an integral component of the highly insulated building envelope.
Repeating vertical ridges and narrow windows across the building’s exterior, accented by bright yellow and green doors, lends the residence a rhythmic, keyboard-like effect. Designed by Oliver Lang of Vancouver’s LWPAC, the highly insulated envelope and geothermal system provide a low-energy building with no on-site carbon emissions.”
