The new Laboratory Building addition will house some of the best and most modern research and teaching facilities in the country, providing state-of-the-art laboratory space for faculty and students.

To be located south of the existing building, the addition will be energy efficient, using natural light wherever possible, and space efficient. The main north-south interior pedestrian link between College West and the future Lab Building addition is designed to act as a major gathering space for students and connect to the inner Dr. Lloyd Barber Academic Green visually and physically.
The infrastructure will be flexible, capable of responding to changing needs of teaching and research. The Lab Building addition will feature modern, high-quality labs, which will be similar to labs senior undergraduate and graduate students will work on later in their careers. Modern audio-visual, connectivity and conferencing capacities will enhance electronic interactions, information sharing and research collaborations.
The new building will have space to accommodate 30 principle investigators, each with a team of four to five post-doctoral researchers and graduate student researchers.
Construction on the addition officially began on May 16, 2005 and is expected to be completed in May 2007. The provincial government grant for this project is $31 million.
