The Laurier Brantford University Centre is a 6200 square meter building designed to be a centre-piece of the existing Wilfrid Laurier University urban centre.
The centre will root itself in the heart of Brantford's downtown heritage district and it will amalgamate several existing university building functions into one cohesive campus setting.
It will contain class/lecture rooms, faculty offices, campus bookstore, campus dining hall with servery, student residence and new ecologically sensitive landscaped courtyard.
It will incorporate public access into key parts of the centre to strengthen an urban renewal type relationship.
The centre is being designed to achieve a LEED Silver rating.
Some of the sustainable features include enhanced thermal building envelope, energy efficient mechanical and electrical systems, recycled regional and low-emitting materials, water efficiencies, enhanced indoor air quality and inclusion of natural daylight along with a green building education plan.
