Richardson Centre for Innovation

Designed for advanced food product development, the four storey Tyndall stone laboratory building actively interacts with its unique downtown location. The 62,000 sq ft facility creates interest along Lombard Avenue with an assortment of pedestrian-friendly landscaping features and unique views from the street into the space inside. The building’s orientation and strategic use of glass floods the interior space with natural light. The staircase provides a striking architectural statement set against a full height wood feature wall designed as an artistic representation of a DNA barcode, offering visual warmth and conceptually expressing the building’s various scientific uses.
