With the creation of its new Student Union Building (SUB), Simon Fraser University envisioned and brought to life a transformative addition to its Burnaby Mountain campus. Designed as a “home away from home,” the SUB serves as a welcoming haven for students and addresses a shortage of space for non-academic activities. To honor Arthur Erickson’s iconic campus, the design integrates a stepped form, harmonious materials and a rhythmic façade while infusing a contemporary, light-filled aesthetic. The SUB supports student wellbeing with the help of SunGuard™ SN 68 and SN 54 on clear glass, bringing in an abundance of light and views, connecting students to outdoor spaces. The SUB is targeting LEED® Gold certification.
