The Science Commons is a critical component of a larger vision to diversify Alberta’s economy into the knowledge and innovation industries. Located on the Lethbridge University Campus in the majestic coulee landscape and next door to Arthur Erickson’s iconic University Hall (1971), the project is purpose-built for transdisciplinary research and teaching.

A tailor-made integrated design process was fundamental to promoting active discourse between researchers, instructors, users, and the design team to define the qualities that should drive the creation of a transdisciplinary environment unique to the University.
