The Water and Climate Impacts Research Centre (W-CIRC) has been established jointly by Environment and Climate Change Canada and UVIC to facilitate hydrological and environmentally based inter-disciplinary research, assessing the impacts of climate change on Canadian water resources.

The main objective of the W-CIRC is to promote and undertake high-quality research and related activities, including collaborative research dealing with climate impacts on water resources.

Our work on this new facility encompasses a full overhaul of the building's east wing (previously a long-term care home for seniors).

The project involved renovations of the existing building to accommodate 1195 square meters of research labs, new suites, fine art storage and a mix of office workspace for Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Utilizing an integration of modular partitions, exposed building structure and strategic furnishings helped create a high-tech style workplace to meet Government of Canada Workplace 2.0 Fit-Up Standards.

Special construction required for the project included a general hydrology lab outfitted with sediment trap sink and eyewash station as well as a hydro-ecology lab with emergency shower/ eyewash station, sink with sediment trap, fume hood, chemical storage and a microbalance table.
