Text description provided by the architects. The Earth Sciences Building (ESB) is located on the Vancouver campus of the University of British Columbia (UBC). Designed as a new home for three of UBC’s Science departments—Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Statistics, and the Pacific Institute of the Mathematical Sciences—the project also includes the dean’s office of the Faculty of Science and integrates exhibits from the Pacific Museum of the Earth (PME). In addition to enhancing the growing links between each department by providing valuable opportunities for shared learning and collaboration, the ESB expands the Faculty of Science’s public face and helps to create a vibrant and animated centre for the Faculty on campus.
