Academic Health Science Building (Carleton Univ) | 7 fl | Completed

To accommodate the recent new Health Science program and the Neuroscience program and to take advantage of and support the synergies that exist between these two programs Carleton University is planning to build a new Academic Health Science building for these two programs.

The design and layout of the labs, offices and workspace are such to help encourage and facilitate collaborative interaction between faculty and students.

The new building is planned to have seven floors and one mezzanine. The total building area will be roughly 120,000 square feet. The new building will be located in parking 2B east of the Steacie building.



Key Building Details
  • The first floor will have a new lecture theatre. There will be a mezzanine at the back of the lecture theatre to also allow entry/exit at the back of the lecture theatre.
  • The second, third, fourth and seventh floors will have labs, lab support space, research support space, offices and student workstations.
  • The fifth and sixth floors will be shell space to allow for future program growth.
  • There will be a ground level enclosed connection between the new building and the Steacie building.
  • Each floor will have its own mechanical/electrical room. This is to allow for minimal disruptions to other floors when work on one floor is taking place.



Environmentally Friendly Design

The Academic Health Science Building project has undertaken a Green Globes Workshop and is aiming to achieve a rating of 4 Globes.
Design and Building Team

Architect: Montgomery Sisam Architects Inc. and NXL Architects Inc.
General Contractor: (to be determined)
Project Manager: Darryl Boyce, Assistant Vice-President, Facilities Management and Planning, Carleton University
Construction Phase: October 2015 to June 2017

Construction commences on Carleton University’s new health sciences building

By Alex Robinson
Ottawa East News, Dec 16, 2015


Carleton University has started building a new $52-million health sciences building.

The university announced on Dec. 14 that construction work has begun on the seven-storey structure that will house academic facilities on campus for both the health sciences and neuroscience departments.

“The new health sciences building will be a great addition to our campus as we continue to provide the best research facilities possible for our researchers and our students,” said Roseann O’Reilly Runte, the university’s president.

“The building will house lab-intensive programs which will be accommodated with large, open labs – rather than small rooms.”

Once built, the building will accommodate the school’s growing health sciences and neuroscience programs and will have “the latest technology in high-quality teaching labs.”

The large new labs will have an open concept and will house collaborating researchers who will be primarily focused on infectious diseases and healthy ageing.

“The idea is that many researchers will be sharing those large spaces,” said John Stead, chairman of the university’s neuroscience department.

“It will make it easier for research groups to expand and contract over time. Because we are all going to be working in that same space, it will make cross-pollination between labs and researchers much easier.”

It will also have large lecture theatres and support offices.

The 120,000-square-foot building will be built on the site of a parking lot just west of Campus Avenue and will be part of the university’s plan to phase out its surface parking lots and replace them with green and public space.

The university has also applied to build a new 14-storey residence on campus, but a spokesman for Carleton said the plan has been put on hold for a year while the school evaluates demand.

Carleton University expects the health sciences building will be ready for August 2017

So, is a 120,000-square-foot building 'green and public space'?

If it gets 4 green globes it will be green, and its got a lecture hall, so it is public...

I am more amazed it has been 'future proofed' by having two empty floors for when the inevitable expansion happens.

Tower Crane went up last Monday. With no basement, this whole project should go up pretty quickly.

In the master plan, they are intending to turn the parking lot in front of UC into an "entrance quad", which will just be a park with a big path to the door. But if you have not read the master plan I can see why that wouldn't make any sense

Carleton University proposes to substantially expand their health sciences educational facilities with the construction of a new health sciences building. The site is located deep within the Campus on Campus Avenue. The site is bordered on the north by an existing surface parking lot with the School of Architecture building beyond. On the east by Campus avenue and the existing raised light rail single track. The recently constructed River Building is to the south and on the west starting at the north end is the University Centre, a major surface pedestrian link to the Quad and the Steacie Science Building.

This new academic facility will house the departments of Neuroscience and Health Sciences in a 7 storey building of 11,102 square metres, research/teaching labs, and faculty offices on levels 2 to 7, as well as a large lecture theatre on the ground floor.

Here is a picture from infront of the University Centre showing the white brick. It is the only side that has the brick so far.




As well, a photo of recent exterior renovations to the side of the library that faces Colonel By. Glad they did this, really improves the look of the building. Hopefully they work on the other side next!

The original exterior of MacOrdrum Library was quite a striking 1960s institutional look with narrow, but full-length, windows running from floor-to-floor.

In the early 1980s these windows and their wing like trim were removed. The story at the time was that the glazing was allowing UV light to come in and attack the collection. So we got this space craft clad, tiny windowed treatment for >30 years.
