Simon Fraser University campus in downtown Vancouver has more than 10,000 graduate and undergraduate student enrollments and VPAC was engaged to renovate its Research Commons. Created to be a flexible, technology-enabled space on the 7th floor of Harbour Centre, the Research Commons supports graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty, and other researchers in building cross-discipline scholarly communities. The renovations included private offices, consultation rooms, instructional space, dedicated workstations and a casual seating area for students and faculty. Mechanical and electrical upgrades included audio-visual system enhancement, lighting, and fire-stopping.
