BCIT Campus Walk Study
Burnaby, BC
BCIT has an explicit and rigorous pedagogy of showing how the world works and comes together. We worked with them to advance their campus walk precinct to stitch together disparate parts of the campus with a building strategy that lays bare the mechanics of construction and campus services. It was weirdly exciting… like getting paid to go to school.

One of Bruce’s first projects. A kind of started it all sort of effort and really a true distillation of his ambitions as an architect: thoughtfully detailed, elegantly scaled, and in service of an oft-overlooked group.
