Recent phase 1 completion (January 2008) - Research Advancement Centre, University of Waterloo, Ontario
The Phase II building will closely resemble the Phase I building completed by Cooper Construction in January 2008.
William Cooper Sr, President and CEO, stated: "With Phase One of the project successfully completed a little over a year ago, we're very pleased to be commencing Phase Two. This is an interesting project that will serve the Canadian research community for many years to come."
Three floors of combined office and laboratory space will locate offices on the building's perimeter, with multi-use laboratory space on three floors in the building's core, including one 2000 sq.ft. two-storey lab. The lab space is designed for separation into up to 14 labs with independent HVAC and lighting. A central service area links all lab space to the penthouse mechanical space, with provision for easy installation of dedicated HVAC and ventilation equipment for special purposes.
The heating and ventilation system is designed to accommodate fume hoods to the labs, with hydroponic heating and cooling to offices and labs and a central computerized BMS system.
Each of the three floors can be set up independently with dedicated lunch rooms, meeting rooms, computer rooms and washrooms. The third floor has a distinctive overhanging premium office area on the south and west sides to accommodate the dedicated needs of the third floor tenant.
The building will have steel frame structure, with pre-cast concrete floor slabs, architectural pre-cast, distinctive three colour curtainwall glazing, one drive-in door with loading dock and two grade-level dock doors. A screened patio will provide secluded breakout space adjacent to the property's extensive landscaped reserve.
