Canada’s foremost human genome research center aimed to create an environment that fostered collaboration and interdisciplinary research. The unique 248,378-square-foot facility resembles a glass box with a soaring glass atrium, lush interior gardens and an overall impression of light and transparency. Custom glazing elements range from a double-skinned curtain wall to a spot-colored facade to mimic DNA code.
