Project Description
FROM THE AIBC:
The office of mcfarlane biggar architects + designers’
Bookstore renovation and expansion at the University of British Columbia (UBC)
in Vancouver BC both redefines the university bookstore while simultaneously
animating and bringing vitality to the campus heart. Situated in a prominent
location at the Campus center, the original building suffered from lack of a
clear and visible entry. The addition provides a lighter, brighter, more
welcoming presence that both respects and contrasts the tough solidity of the
existing building and transforms the Bookstore into a vibrant social space.
