Backgrounder TASC2: Additional features
April 27, 2007
TASC2 contains a number of energy and water-conserving technologies such as compressed-air venturi-style vacuums for chemistry experiments that eliminate the need for water-wasting aspirators.
In addition, high-efficiency fume hoods extract heat from exhaust air and modern faucets and toilets reduce water use.
SFU’s newest building also has five kinds of running water on tap: hot, cold, reverse osmosis, deionized and chilled. The chilled water is for cooling room air and scientific equipment.
Bridges connect TASC2 with SFU’s Shrum and South Science buildings.
In common areas, video projectors can be hung for public screenings. Natural light, wood paneling and spectacular south-facing views of Burnaby all contribute to the building’s desirable work environment.
Outside, landscaping boulders and plants represent a glacial escarpment with a dry stream bed.
