| dbo:abstract | The Vale Living with Lakes Centre is a research center for The Cooperative Freshwater Ecology Unit in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The centre consists of 2 buildings totalling 2,643m² (28,441 sq ft). The 2 storey main building (2,125m² / 22,865 sq ft) contains offices, laboratories, and teaching/meeting spaces. The second building also known as the Watershed Centre (518m² / 5,576 sq ft) contains field crew operations, storage, and specialized facilities. The Vale Living with Lakes Centre was designed by Peter Busby of Busby, Perkins + Will in collaboration with Jeff Laberge from J.L. Richards and Associates who provided engineering and architectural services. The scientists and clients of the Living with Lakes Centre wanted the project to improve the site through the construction of the centre. Therefore, by designing with sustainable landscaping strategies and the design of stormwater management systems, the water leaves the site cleaner than when it entered ensuring the Living with Lakes Centre does not harm the waters of Lake Ramsey through its operation. The design team worked in collaboration with the scientists that would later occupy the building to optimize the architectural conditions to their standards to produce the Living with Lakes Centre. This integrated design process required the equal input of people with engineering specialties, design specialties, and ecosystem regeneration specialties to benefit the project as a whole. During the design process the integrated group had two concepts that drove the project: good architecture equals good engineering and no one knows more than everyone. These concepts provide insight into the thought process through the design and build of the Vale Living with Lakes Centre which reiterates the importance of an integrated design approach. (en) |
