The University of British Columbia has officially opened its $45M expansion for its Beaty Biodiversity Centre. This six-storey expansion houses the Biodiversity Research Centre and the Beaty Biodiversity Museum and includes new research and meeting spaces. It is designed for thermal comfort, optimized for indoor air quality, and includes features such as bird-friendly patterned windows and a pollinator garden planted with native species. “This state-of-the-art space will further strengthen UBC’s expertise in advancing biodiversity knowledge to drive positive environmental change across British Columbia, Canada, and the world,” said UBC President Benoit-Antoine Bacon.
