Cunningham Building (1971)

Architects: Erickson Massey, (Vancouver)

This is a three-storey reinforced concrete building, with exterior walls of exposed concrete. It was designed to accommodate classrooms, offices, laboratories, and other research facilities of the biological sciences. The wooded site with its naturalized landscaping works to good effect to soften the boldly expressive vertical and horizontal elements which are Erickson's trademark. On the interior ductwork and services are exposed, giving the structure a 'high-tech' science-is-our-business feel.
