PODIUM 2 FIT-OUT
SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY, SURREY, BC
This dynamic renovation of over 4,320m2 (46,500 ft2) is a LEED® Silver
project and provides new teaching labs for biology, chemistry, physics and
kinesiology as well as seven new general classroom spaces. Also provided
are research laboratories for leading-edge research in interactive arts and
technology, visual analytics, cybercrime, kinesiology and computer science;
other research areas include space for research in health.
This expansion of SFU at the Surrey Campus is the second in a long term
phased development renovation of space for undergraduate science programs
in biology, chemistry and physics and faculty offices in Podium 2, adjacent to
SFU Surrey’s existing main public space, the Dale B. Regehr Grand Hall.
SFU Surrey researchers are conducting leading-edge research in interactive
arts and technology,visual analytics, cybercrime, mechatronics and computing
science. General Kinesiology research labs were built to accelerate research
and development at the Surrey campus. Several other research areas were
enabled including research in health promotion and prevention of chronic
diseases, in collaboration with the Fraser Health Authority, as well as expansion
of mechatronics research and teaching collaborations with industry.
Key Features:
• “Scale up” STEM teaching spaces featuring interactive group learning
tables
• Significant display areas for science on display
• Use of recycled lab furniture
• Re-use of the existing raised floor system, including in wet labs
Scope of Services:
CTA carried out full construction administration services fulfilling the role of
consultant under the CCDC2 contract. CTA worked collaboratively with the
City of Surrey using certified professional processes to expedite the issuance of
building and occupancy permits. CTA also worked closely with the contractor to
