The Life Sciences Centre (LSC) at the University of British Columbia’s Vancouver campus stands as a beacon of innovation and collaboration in global medical technology research. Designed to foster interdisciplinary exchange and scientific advancement, the LSC is home to a vibrant community of over 2,650 individuals, including leading researchers, graduate and medical students, professors, and dedicated administrative staff.

This dynamic hub integrates state-of-the-art laboratories and offices with a thoughtfully curated network of shared amenities. These include faculty and administration suites, classrooms, lecture theatres, a comprehensive library, and specialized medical teaching and support spaces. All are seamlessly connected by a striking architectural feature - a central interior ‘street’ flanked by two soaring multi-storey atria that serve as the heart of the building’s social and spatial organization.
