UBCO Arts and Science Buildings Addition

UBC Okanagan have mandated to accommodate 900 students along with the accompanying 45 to 80 faculty positions and appropriate support staff by September 2005. In order to meet this requirement, the provision of sufficient and suitable space needs to be addressed. Both the Arts and Science buildings at the UBC-O Campus had the capability to be expanded upwards by one floor. The footprint of these buildings are 3,900 square meters and 3,600 square meters respectively, and upon review of the two buildings, it was determined that a third floor of 3,300 gross square meters and 3,000 gross square meters can be achieved.
