B+H Bunting Coady Architects has been involved with several Student Services projects for Kwantlen University College
in Surrey, Richmond and Cloverdale. We enjoy working with a diverse group of stakeholders, which include the client,
user groups, students and faculty. Two project examples in which B+H BuntingCoady worked with Kwantlen University
include Kwantlen Polytechnic University Administration Building ‘C’ and Kwantlen Polytechnic Library Building ‘A’.
Kwantlen Polytechnic University Administration Building ‘C’:
The new Administration Building for Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey (C2) provides this campus with a unique
and contemporary ‘front door’ through which to welcome and orient students and visitors. The entrance features a
dramatic canopy with copper ringed oculus and wood soffit while the light-filled three storey atrium bridges the gap
between the old and the new buildings. Bunting Coady Architect’s Integrated Design Process was used throughout
to shape the building, coordinate flexible modular internal layouts and enhance the progressive sustainable building
mandate. This striking facility is designed to LEED® Gold.

LIBRARY BUILDING ‘A’
Kwantlen Polytechnic Library Building ‘A’:
Kwantlen Polytechnic Library Building ‘A’ is at the very heart of the Kwantlen Polytechnic University
Surrey Campus. The two storey entrance and library renovation is the focal point of the interior
quadrangle, providing a light, well ventilated space, dedicated to the pursuit of learning. The second
floor of the revitalized glazed lobby provides a quiet, daylight filled, contemplative setting for private
reading, while the versatile three storey south wing provides learning labs for interactive teaching,
along with additional individual and group study areas.
Over 90% of all occupied spaces within this facility have views to the outdoors, to provide
direct connectivity to the environment. This durable, flexible and efficient library is targeted
LEED® Platinum and incorporates a wealth of sustainable design features to significantly reduce
environmental impact.
Indoor air standards within the Kwantlen Library go well beyond the required provincial nonsmoking requirement. Air systems are protected by gateway grills designed to capture dirt and
particulates. Carbon dioxide monitoring systems have also been incorporated throughout the
building, to detect elevated levels and increase fresh air to the building.
No chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s), Halons or HCFC’s were used in the facility, although current
legislation permits the use of HCFC’s in the USA and Canada until 2030. Only non- or low-VOC
(volatile organic compound) emitting materials were used in interiors adhesives, sealants, paints,
carpets, agrifibers and woods. 42% of materials used in the construction of this facility were
regionally extracted within BC.

HVAC Description and Daylighting systems:
Natural Ventilation through tricklevents combined with chimneys provide 100% of ventilated air. All heating/ cooling is
in-slab radiant coupled with geo-thermal. Facades are designed to be self shading on the south to allow side wall only
lighting through slots on the west., and clerestory features were modelled through eight options to achieve atrium and
library lighting with daylight and without solar gain or glare.
For Kwantlen Polytechnic University Administration Building ‘C’: an Integrated Design Process was implemented to
arrive at the following building system initiatives:
a) Exterior Walls:
Curtain wall glazing with operable windows and trickle vents on North, East and West façades.
Rain screen walls with operable windows and trickle vents on the East, West and South façade. Sunshades on the
South façade will allow winter sun in while shading the hot summer sun and protecting interior surfaces from glare.
Consideration has been given to controlling the amount of glazing to on each façade to balance the factors of ample
day lighting with potential heating and cooling loads.
The Entrance Lobby off 72nd Avenue is fully glazed to maximize day lighting and provide an open dynamic entrance
feature at the ceremonial front entrance to the campus.
b) Structure: The basic structure of the building is concrete slabs, columns and shear walls.
The Structural Shear walls at the exit stairs and stone feature wall as well as the shear diaphragms of the concrete
slabs and steel cross bracing at the atrium roof are coordinated into the overall Architectural design and layout.
c) Mechanical: Radiant slab heating and cooling is integrated within the structural slab. Trickle vents and operable
windows for natural ventilation have been coordinated into the Architectural façade detailing. The locations of the
operable windows and trickle vents allow for maximum flexibility of the potential design layouts. The atrium acts as a
natural ventilation chimney to exhaust building air.
The focus of the Integrated Design Process was to develop innovative sustainable building strategies, fully cognizant
of occupant comfort, cost and maintenance implications, and Kwantlen’s current and future energy saving initiatives.
LEED® Assessment achieved a Gold Certification.

The renovation and expansion for Kwantlen University College
Surrey Library accommodates the pressing needs of an expanding
educational program and envisions a re-establishment of the Library
as the primary building on campus. Bringing the existing 3,200
sf library to a total of 8,300 sf, the new facility creates a physical
manifestation of the Library’s vision statement: - “ a dynamic centre
dedicated to successful learning”.
The renovation incorporates a complete remediation of the existing
stucco envelope with a brick and metal clad rain screen envelope and
replaces the existing entry with a revitalized two storey glazed lobby
space incorporating a gallery and sitting area on the ground floor and
a study “balcony” on the second floor.

Commons and provides a transition space between the renovated
two storey north wing library spaces and the new three storey West
wing planned for stacks and quiet study spaces and the three storey
flexible east wing planned for learning labs, group and individual

achieving this is to study the microclimate of the site. We have
installed a weather station that allows us to analyze the local climate

The main challenge is to make the architecture and the environment
work for us not against us. In other words, the major factor that
provides interior thermal comfort, high level of indoor air quality
and natural light for this building are the architectural systems. If a
building can perform passively, energy saving become inherent to
the design. After all passive design solutions have been exhausted;
highly efficient “semi-passive” engineering systems were applied.
In other words, engineering systems were selected to match the
passive nature of the building and used to only supplement what the
passive architectural cannot achieve.

Wind tower Anaysis
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling of
the wind tower above the main atrium has been
completed. A sample output can be seen in left,
which shows a cross section through the wind
tower under design wind conditions (SW at 2.0 m/s
with leeward apertures open). The air flow over the
top of the tower induces negative pressure on the
leeward side which draws air out of the building.
Based on these models and considering several
additional constraints, the optimum tilt angle of
the wind tower roof would be at 5o up towards the
NE.
