Stantec (TSX:STN) has been selected to provide integrated design services for the new building at the University of North Texas at Dallas.
The Edmonton-based firm is working on a US$79 million, four-story 11,334-square-metre Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) building that will house instructional spaces including general purpose “high-flex” classrooms, instructional labs, research space and wet labs that adapt to facilitate various classes including biology and chemistry disciplines.
Stantec is collaborating with HarrisonKornberg Architects, a minority-owned firm, as well as with local educational and community institutions, to encourage employment opportunities and internships, provide new technology for training, and prepare students for science careers.
The interior design focuses on occupant well-being by embracing biophilia as a connection to nature through highly filtered clean air, locally sourced materials and natural daylight and views. Building efficiency will be achieved through smart control systems, and physical mobility is encouraged through easy access to stairwells.
Support areas will include an instrumentation room, cold room, and dark-enabled room to conduct research and store materials in optimal conditions. In addition, a café, pre-function area and 200-250 seat classroom/meeting space is situated on the ground level, with a variety of collaboration spaces throughout the building.
