The BCIT TEC Hub demonstrates DA’s ability to create a vibrant education environment that is tuned to industry demands.
BCIT relocated their Computer Information Technology program to their Downtown Campus in Vancouver. They wished to create a facility that mirrors the working environment their students will face when graduating from their program. Equally important is supporting the delivery of the educational program itself. To achieve this objective, BCIT and the design team collaborated with high-tech industry leaders to identify the key characteristics of this new facility.
This produced a learning cluster containing a series of collaborative classroom and project areas with integration of state-of-the-art technology support. Furniture selection that supports and facilitates the delivery of the educational program enhances the student lounge and flexible multi-use spaces.
Assorted flexible furniture and space for students to find a comfortable work space.
