Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability, Research center at University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada
The Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability spans 5,675 square meters with two four-story wings connected by a multifunctional atrium containing offices and laboratories.
The Centre opened in 2011 after Nobel laureate John Robinson initiated its development as a pioneering facility for North American sustainability research and education.
The structure brings together researchers, students, and professionals from multiple institutions to advance knowledge and solutions in environmental sustainability through collaborative programs.
The building features manual operable windows, natural ventilation systems, and rainwater collection mechanisms that provide all water needs for the facility.
The western facade incorporates deciduous vines that automatically adjust sunlight exposure throughout different seasons while supporting natural air circulation.
