2011年，UBC英属哥伦比亚大学的生物科学综合楼南翼和西翼的建筑体系、隔间和涂层经历了地震防护的升级改造和更新。翻新的面积为172,000平方英尺（16,000平方米），将植物学和动物学系的教育设施，尤其是实验室、水族馆、非正式研究空间、教室、研究室和聚会空间更新至高效的现代化标准。

建筑外观薄片叠成的玻璃嵌板上雕刻着动植物形象暗示了建筑大楼的功能，同时使沿着校园内Main Mall路的人行区域更具活力。新的HVAC系统使用跨实验室的空气运输系统，输送新鲜空气进入室内，将标准化的换气需求从每小时10次减少到每小时8次，超越了行业要求，并使学校节省了大量能源。

这一造价4500万美元的项目已获得LEED设计金奖认证，并能使这栋综合楼的使用寿命延长40多年。

这一项目是UBC更新计划的第二期，UBC更新计划是学校极为成功的多步骤的规划，以在温哥华校园内更新和整修——而不是摧毁和再建——年久的建筑。通过修复旧的建筑结构，实现了原材料使用、能源输入和污染物的大量缩减——比起任何替代性的“绿色”建筑可能实现的成果都要多。因为与实验室建筑相联系的集中要求较多，因此UBC更新计划想获得LEED金奖认证证书的要求实现起来非常具有挑战性。

At the heart of the University of British Columbia Point Grey campus, two wings of the aging Biological Sciences complex have been completely transformed and renewed through an innovative approach taken by the owner, architect, consultants and contractor that saw the South Wing, which dates from 1957, and the West Wing which dates from 1970 and faces Main Mall, being fast-tracked through design and double-shift construction in only 19 months to meet an extremely aggressive federal stimulus funding deadline. The $45-million, 170,000 sf project now houses state-of the art laboratories, aquaria, research spaces, classrooms, offices and gathering spaces for the Departments of Botany and Zoology.

The project is part of Phase Two of UBC Renew, the University’s highly successful, multi-stage plan to renovate and refurbish – rather than demolish and rebuild – aging buildings on its Vancouver campus. By rehabilitating old structures, substantial reductions in raw materials, energy inputs, and pollutants are achieved – more than any replacement ‘green’ building could accomplish. The UBC Renew requirement for LEED Gold certification was very challenging to achieve due to the intensive demands associated with laboratory buildings.
