Urbacon is providing Construction Management services at the University of Toronto‘s Lash Miller Vertical Expansion, a 17,000 sq ft renovation and 35,000 sq ft expansion at the Lash Miller Chemical Laboratories Building at the St. George Campus in Toronto, Ontario.
The building will serve as the new home of the Acceleration Consortium (AC), which fuses Artificial Intelligence (AI, robotics, engineering and chemistry to advance the design and discovery of new materials and solutions to the world’s most pressing issues.
“The research being done at the Acceleration Consortium is a cutting-edge approach to materials discovery,” said Melanie Woodin, dean of the Faculty of Arts & Science. “Now, more than ever, we need such new technologies to help solve the world’s most existential and intractable problems, from climate change to plastics pollution to cancer.”
Working closely with Cumulus Architects Inc. and Mikkelsen Arkitekter, Urbacon is on site for a construction project which will return upgraded labs, classrooms and faculty spaces to provide students and scientists with facilities to aid their research and innovation.
