TSX, NYSE:STN
Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design, has been
selected to provide integrated design services for the new
122,000-square-foot Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
(STEM) building at the University of North Texas at Dallas (UNTD).
The latest addition to the Dallas campus will reflect the logic,
rigor, efficiency, and optimism of scientific learning through an
innovative design that is clearly and functionally organized. The
groundbreaking ceremony will take place Friday, September 29.
The US$79 million, four-story STEM building will house
instructional spaces including general purpose “high-flex”
classrooms, instructional labs, research space, and wet labs that
adapt to facilitate various classes including biology and chemistry
disciplines. Support areas will include an instrumentation room,
cold room, and dark-enabled room to conduct research and store
materials in optimal conditions. In addition, a café, pre-function
area, and 200-250 seat classroom/meeting space is situated on the
ground level, with a variety of collaboration spaces throughout the
building.
Empowering community through educationUNTD’s
state-of-the-art facility will improve the lives of students and
their families by recruiting, training, and employing a more
diverse workforce. Through STEM education, UNTD will create upward
mobility to a community of learners and first-generation college
students by encouraging curiosity and engagement in the
sciences.
In addition, Stantec is collaborating with HarrisonKornberg
Architects, a minority-owned firm certified as a historically
underutilized business, as well as with local educational and
community institutions to encourage employment opportunities and
internships, provide new technology for training, and prepare
students for science careers.
Design through sustainability and wellnessWith
a direct tie to the natural beauty of the campus, the STEM building
will be surrounded by meaningful outdoor spaces and provide views
of a courtyard, promenade, and amphitheater. Exterior gathering
areas will promote water conservation through native,
drought-resistant, and indigenous plantings that direct rainwater
to a natural creek bed.
The interior design focuses on occupant well-being by embracing
biophilia as a connection to nature through highly filtered clean
air, locally sourced materials, and natural daylight and views.
Building efficiency will be achieved through smart control systems
and physical mobility is encouraged through easy access to
stairwells.
