Located in Chalk River, Ontario, the Science Collaboration Centre at the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories Chalk River Laboratories site is one of a suite of three projects on the campus delivered with integrated project delivery that feature a timber structure supporting CNL's transformation towards a more carbon-literate campus. ​As an innovative and sustainable new facility to provide central planning and collaboration space for CNL’s growing science and technology program, the Science Collaboration Centre on the main campus features a six-story mass timber structure built onto a gently cascading site toward the Ottawa River Valley. Designed to meet federal requirements for net-zero carbon-ready facilities, the building bridges east-west and north-south travel between campus facilities and common spaces. ​A multipurpose building with flexible, lofted office spaces atop a mix of conference and meeting space levels, the Science Collaboration Centre houses 44 meeting rooms, collaborative flex spaces, a university-style auditorium with 200 theatre-style seats, a welcoming library space and a rooftop terrace.
