UBC’s new biomedical engineering building will advance health, biotech On April 8, 2025, the University of British Columbia officially opened the doors to the Gordon B. Shrum Building, the new home for the School of Biomedical Engineering (SBME).

As Canada’s first purpose-built facility for biomedical engineering, the new building brings together researchers, students, and industry partners under one roof to advance biomedical research, education, and innovation..

Bowinn Ma, Minister of Infrastructure, said: “This world-class facility will play a crucial role in shaping the future of biomedical engineering. We’re making record investments like these that drive innovation, support industry and create important jobs right here in British Columbia.” Designed by Canadian architecture firm Patkau Architects, the building provides a dedicated home for SBME, replacing its previously scattered locations across UBC’s The $139.4-million project was funded Vancouver campus. through $25 million from the Government of B.C., $114.4 million from UBC, and more “The School of Biomedical Engineering has than $30 million in philanthropic support for been transforming health care through cuttingSBME from donors, including the Gordon B. edge research, education, and partnerships Shrum Charitable Fund, the Conconi Family since it was established in 2017,” said SBME Foundation, United Therapeutics Corporation, Director Dr. Peter Zandstra. “This state-of-theDr. Jim McEwen, and Paul and Nicole Geyer. art facility allows us to take our work to the The building is named in honour of the phil- next level—creating an environment where anthropic legacy of Gordon B.

He left nearly all of his estate to charity, leading to gifts with transformational impact on health care, the environment, education, and social justice.“We are grateful to the Government of British Columbia and our generous donors for helping make this building a reality,” said Dr. Benoit-Antoine Bacon, UBC’s president and vice-chancellor. “B.C.’s life sciences sector has emerged as a global leader, and the Gordon B. Shrum Building will play a central role in supporting critical research and the next generation of biomedical engineers who will fuel the sector’s continued growth and bring innovative health solutions to Canadians.”

Anne Kang, Minister of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills, said: “This is much more than a building. This is an important milestone in medical innovation and reflects our government’s commitment to improving health care in our province. I am excited for students and the future workers of our medical technology sector to use these state-of-the-art spaces to develop and design the groundbreaking treatment therapies and life-changing medical devices that will improve health outcomes for all British Columbians.”

Complementing forward-looking architecture and collision spaces, the building’s visual centerpiece is a four-storey mural by biomedical artist Jen Ma. The artwork represents the multiscale nature of SBME’s research, illustrating how biology, medicine, and engineering intersect—from molecular to cellular to systems levels—to advance human health. The new facility includes:biomechanics labs that have robots and machinery for crash-testing research to study how head, spine, and hip injuries happen. This research, led by Dr. Peter Cripton, will help develop new ways to prevent serious trauma from falls, sports, and vehicle accidents; the Conconi Family Biodevice Foundry, a first-of-its-kind in Western Canada, made possible by a donation from the Conconi Family Foundation, which provides tools for designing and testing medical devices. Here, Dr. Govind Kaigala and his team are developing lab-on-a-chip devices, miniature medical tools that allow researchers and doctors to detect and diagnose diseases faster; state-ofthe-art digital labs where researchers are using the power of artificial intelligence to improve diagnostic accuracy to enhance treatment outcomes. Here, Dr. Ali Bashashati is advanc-

Abbotsford Students to Explore Civic Careers Through Community Field Trip Experience aYbtsPorz dy ividafrQI kimAUintI PIlz itRp anuBv rfhIN nfgirk krIar dI pVcol krngy (Abbotsford) – Throughout May, more than 700 Abbotsford School District students in grades 2, 3, 7, and 8 are taking part in an immersive civic field trip experience, designed to highlight the vital roles of local community partners and connect classroom learning to real-world careers.

Taking place over two sets of dates — May 1–2 for grades 2 and 3, and May 29–30 for grades 7 and 8 — the experience includes interactive visits to the Abbotsford School District board office, Abbotsford Police Department, Abbotsford City Hall, Abbotsford Fire Rescue Services, Fraser Valley Regional Library, and The Reach Gallery Museum.

A highlight of the experience is a collaborative art project at the school board office, based on a design by local artist Raphael Silver of Sema:th First Nation. Every student and adult will contribute to this community piece, reflecting themes of connection and civic pride.

“This is such an amazing opportunity for students to see their curriculum come to life,” said Lynette Power, District Principal of Languages and Settlement Services. “From Social Studies to Career Education, these field trips are thoughtfully designed to make meaningful connections to what students are learning in the classroom, and to the people who support their community every day.”

The initiat i v e w as sparked

by Andrea Orlosky of The Reach Gallery Museum, who also developed promot io n al materials and coordinated bookings.

“It felt like a great opportunity to bring civic partners together, especially with all of them located so close to one another,” said Orlosky. “The focus is on careers in the community, and the helpers and workers who make Abbotsford function well.”

To extend the learning, pre- and post-visit materials were created for classroom use. Thanks to sponsorship from CUPE 774, all program fees were waived for this experience.

This civic field trip series represents a new model of hands-on, local learning — where students not only learn about their community but learn within it.

Any hectic activity that has just started to You are in a good position to make some final decisions on something you may have first considered late July to mid August. The position of somebody else may be clearer now, particularly if they decide to bring something to an end. If this does happen it can make it easier in some way when it comes to normal routines in life.

Whatever you had to rethink when it comes to putting things in place since mid August will now allow you to be clear of mind to late September when it comes to something that might have been first discussed late July to mid August. You can now make decisions that please you. Don’t be tempted to spend too much though.

Someone else can be very straightforward as to what they either like or expect from you.

Be careful you don’t read into this more than is being offered, particularly if there is an expectation for you to take on responsibilities or to put things in place. Make decisions up to late September that will keep you in control of your finances.

You are in an excellent position to be able to make decisions to late September that will take your life forward. You can feel as though you have greater personal choice or some control at last. There might be a second stage to this from January to April next year and for this reason it could be wise to ensure there is some flexibility.

Whatever financial decisions you may have first considered from late July to mid August can now be looked at more thoroughly, especially in relation to the best actions to take to be able to move forward. You need to be able to satisfy your own priorities, which may not necessarily fit in with the expectations of somebody else.

Focus on anything you are determined to develop more for your own independence in the future. You can realise that contemplation alone will not move things forward. From now to early September you need to look at the commitments that would need to be taken on. Doing this in stages will help you to get used to the changes.

You are in a good position to come to realisations regarding any situations where you might feel as though you are taking on more than is reasonable on a regular basis. This is more about making decisions to bring matters to an end where commitments attached will have an inhibiting effect on possible future accomplishments.

You could come to the realisation, from now to late September, that it is better to scale down ideas you might have had late July to mid August to be able to take these things into the future successfully. Others might have bigger ambitions but you can be happier with small steps, allowing you to have a feeling of better control.

Having absolute confidence about how you stand on any matter will engender respect from others, even though they may not fully agree with you. This could result in clarity when it comes to commitment and support, which may have been an issue from late July to mid August and was left hanging.

Be mindful of the obligations you take on.

You are in a position to late September to contemplate future plans and possibilities that you may have wanted from late July to mid August but could not finalise. You have the opportunity to engage with others and get a response. This could also have a lot to do with leaving the past behind up to 20th November so you can move on with a new life direction.

Something you thought had become evident since mid August where someone else’s decision making is concerned could again become more unknown to late September. It could be that they need to withdraw to make final decisions. These could involve taking your priorities into account as well as generating some sort of pleasure in life.

Something that wasn’t made perfectly clear or finalised by somebody else between late July and mid August can now return to late September where final decisions need to be made by them. It can be up to you to ensure they do not avoid responsibilities that could leave you with too much to get properly organised or put into place.
