UniverCity Tour

Join the BC Women in Energy Network for a tour of the award winning, sustainable community UniverCity on Burnaby Mountain on October 30th, from 4:30 - 6:00pm.

The UniverCity is a community designed to provide income for the university without damaging the environment; a model for practical and affordable sustainability.  The community features a number of green and sustainable buildings, including the new Childcare Centre, designed to meet the Living Building Challenge (LBC) standards.  To qualify for LBC a building has to generate more energy than it uses, collect or recycle more water than it consumes and be built and operated using nontoxic and locally sourced materials.  The Burnaby Mountain district energy system provides heat and hot water to the UniverCity buildings.

Tickets are free, but registration is required.
