Ridgeway Science & Tech is where scientific discoveries take place and serves as a focal point for members of the community. The building and site design inspires creativity and innovation, providing a modern aesthetic with the historic context of the area in mind. The 112,000 SF iconic building sits in a prime location and provides a number of high-end amenities for occupants to connect with each other and the community at large. The facility is open, flexible, adaptable, modular, and market responsive. The campus also includes EV chargers, B-cycle, secure bike storage, showers/ locker rooms, an on-site café with outdoor terrace, a wellness room and outdoor gym. With sustainability being at the forefront, this project targets to meet the highest and most progressive standards.

The project is aiming for 100% electrical buildings with on-site air quality monitoring, LEED v4 Core + Shell, WELL v2 Core, and Net Zero certifications. The new design will massively increase site permeability, resulting in new water quality functionality and creating resiliency in the event of a flood by ensuring the building can maintain its critical operations. The project will be initially built as core and shell with the ability to accommodate high-sensitivity research environments through providing a high vibration criteria and creative solutions to mitigate the vibration of a passing train to the north of the site. With I2SL design principles in mind, a collaborative process with all stakeholders has led to a highly efficient design of all building systems utilizing an efficient building envelope, sustainable materials, geo-exchange system, chilled beams, roof-top solar, and wind studies to better understand the possibility of reduced fan speeds. It will serve as an example of how to build a truly modern building in the S&T market.
