SFU Strand Hall L3000 Refurbishment

Strand Hall, originally constructed in 1971 for accommodating administration offices for Simon Fraser University, developed significant environmental issues over the past fifty years. Severe overheating in the summer, cold drafts in the winter and inadequate ventilation resulted in worker discomfort and absenteeism. Inadequate acoustic privacy, insufficient collaborative work space, and unclear wayfinding impacted effective working relationships within departments. 

Together, SFU and PUBLIC planned a new interior design to address these building issues and provide a high performance, collaborative work space for the offices of the President, VP Research, VP Academics, Internal Audit, Finance, and Faculty Relations.
