About the building: Information taken from www.architectura.ca This project represents a partnership between the publicly-funded education sector and the private sector business community. The building design is centered around large floor plates containing state-of-the-art classroom design, library facilities, and teaching support spaces and laboratories. The exterior design, comprised primarily of glass, is designed to enhance natural light into teaching spaces, as well as provide effective solar control. The building identity is visually open to express technology, and is an icon for BCIT in downtown Vancouver. Size: 168,000 Sq

Interior of classroom facing east with blinds closed (dull day). Still a fair bit of light penetration. Note blinds are also installed above window head. It would give the impression that the shading device on the south east side is not working well... |
