I would hope that the winning team would consider making the renovation LEED and WELL demonstrating our commitment to the environment and the people that will occupy and visit the space. What would really be fantastic is if the ‘new’ science centre included the built environment. there is a lot of science that goes into ensuring a building doesn’t fall down as well as the human science of how we respond and interact with the built environment. This is a grand opportunity to create a destination that goes beyond students and bring in a greater part of the population to experience and learn
