The Friedman Building Renovation Project is a four story, 6229 m2 facility that houses the School of Audiology and Speech Sciences and the Physical Therapy Division, School of Rehabilitation Sciences. Completed in 2008 the Friedman building is upgraded to improve life safety, accessibility, energy efficiency, and opportunities for student and faculty interaction. All of these measures greatly enhance the learning and working conditions in the building. The project is seeking the Canada Green Building Council’s LEED Gold certification. If certified, The Friedman Project could become one of the very few major renovation projects that achieve LEED Gold in Canada.

The project consists of renovation and upgrades to two wings of the Biological Sciences complex at UBC Point Grey campus, resulting in increased functionality, improvements in energy and water efficiency and some landscape work replacing existing planting with adaptive species for improved stormwater managment.  Renovation rather than demolition and building new was specifically chosen to reduce environmental impact.
