AbCellera is a 9-storey concrete-framed commercial building housing both office and laboratory space. Located in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, this state-of-the-art building is home to biotechnology company AbCellera’s newest Vancouver campus. With historic investments injected into this project by the federal and provincial governments, this location serves as the company’s headquarters and research hub where AbCellera continues its vital work discovering and developing antibody therapeutics.
BCBS was an integral part of the team during the new construction of this development. Our expertise contributed to the successful completion of this exciting project through building envelope consulting services. This approach first included establishing the basis of design for the building envelope. During the construction phase, we performed ongoing field reviews and provided field testing of key envelope components as the testing agency. Envelope field testing included the necessary quality assurance field tests to ensure optimal functionality such as testing a sampling of windows and doors as well as conducting whole building airtightness testing to ensure compliance with energy efficiency targets.
