UBC’s new biomedical engineering building will advance health, biotech
OnApril8,2025,theUniversityofBritishColumbiaofficiallyopenedthedoorstotheGordonB.ShrumBuilding,thenewhomeforthe School of Biomedical Engineering (SBME). AsCanada’sfirstpurpose-builtfacilityforbiomedicalengineering,thenewbuildingbrings together researchers, students, and industry partnersunderonerooftoadvancebiomedical research,education,andinnovation..
The $139.4-million project was funded through $25 million from the Government ofB.C.,$114.4millionfromUBC,andmore than $30millioninphilanthropic support for SBMEfromdonors,includingtheGordonB. Shrum Charitable Fund, the Conconi Family Foundation,UnitedTherapeuticsCorporation, Dr.JimMcEwen,andPaulandNicoleGeyer.
The building is named in honour of the philanthropic legacy of Gordon B. Shrum, who graduated from UBC in 1958. Shrum, who passed away in 2018, supported novel approachestoaddressingcommunityneeds.He left nearly all of his estate to charity, leading togiftswithtransformationalimpactonhealth care, the environment, education, and social justice.“We are grateful to the Government ofBritishColumbiaandourgenerousdonors forhelpingmakethisbuildingareality,”said Dr. Benoit-Antoine Bacon, UBC’s president and vice-chancellor. “B.C.’s life sciences sectorhasemergedasagloballeader,andthe GordonB.ShrumBuildingwillplayacentral roleinsupportingcriticalresearchandthenext generation of biomedical engineers who will fuel the sector’s continued growth and bring innovativehealthsolutionstoCanadians.”
AnneKang,MinisterofPost-SecondaryEducation 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 studentsandthefutureworkersofourmedical technologysectortousethesestate-of-the-art spacestodevelopanddesignthegroundbreaking treatment therapies and life-changing medicaldevicesthatwillimprovehealthoutcomesforallBritishColumbians.”
Bowinn Ma, Minister of Infrastructure, said: “This world-class facility will play a crucial roleinshapingthefutureofbiomedicalengineering.We’remakingrecordinvestmentslike these that drive innovation, support industry andcreateimportantjobsrighthereinBritish Columbia.” Designed by Canadian architecture firmPatkauArchitects,the buildingprovidesadedicatedhomefor SBME,replacing itspreviouslyscatteredlocationsacrossUBC’s Vancouvercampus.
“The School of Biomedical Engineering has beentransforminghealthcarethroughcuttingedge research, education, and partnerships sinceitwasestablishedin2017,”saidSBME DirectorDr.PeterZandstra.“Thisstate-of-theart facility allows us to take our work to the next level—creating an environment where ourfacultyandpartnerscancollaborateseamlessly and create transformative new health technologies.”
Complementingforward-lookingarchitecture and collision spaces, the building’s visual centerpieceisafour-storeymuralbybiomedical artistJenMa. Theartworkrepresentsthe multiscale nature of SBME’s research, illustratinghowbiology, medicine, andengineering intersect—from molecular to cellular to systemslevels—toadvancehumanhealth.The new facility includes:biomechanics labs that have robots and machinery for crash-testing research to study how head, spine, and hip injurieshappen.Thisresearch,ledbyDr.Peter Cripton,willhelpdevelopnewwaystoprevent serioustraumafromfalls,sports,andvehicle accidents; the Conconi Family Biodevice Foundry,afirst-of-its-kindinWesternCanada, madepossiblebyadonationfromtheConconi Family Foundation, which provides tools for designing and testing medical devices. Here, Dr.GovindKaigalaandhisteamaredeveloping lab-on-a-chip devices, miniature medical tools that allow researchers and doctors to detect and diagnose diseases faster; state-ofthe-artdigitallabswhereresearchersareusing thepowerofartificialintelligencetoimprove diagnostic accuracy to enhance treatment outcomes.Here,Dr.AliBashashatiisadvanc-

Philanthropic support is also enabling SBME to recruit research expertise through theSirMagdiYacoubProfessorshipinTissue Regeneration, made possible by a donation from the United Therapeutics Corporation. Thispositionwilldrivecollaborativeresearch, education, and training in cell differentiation andtissueregeneration,withthegoalofmaking transplantable organs and organ alternativesaccessibletoeveryonewhoneedsthem. With the opening of the Gordon B. Shrum Building,UBCisgrowingitsimpactinB.C.’s lifesciencessector—makingroomforupto10 newUBCspin-offventureseachyearthrough SBMEInnovatesattheBiomedicalResearch Centre. SBME has already secured $10.2 million in partnership funding and helped launchseveralbiomedicalstart-ups,including ScopeSysandSeraGene.“Byfusingthefields ofmedicine,biologyandengineering,SBME isbringingnewperspectivesandasolutionsfocusedmindsettosomeofsociety’sgreatest medical challenges,” said Dr. Dermot Kelleher,Vice-PresidentofHealthandDeanofthe Faculty of Medicine. “This new facility will
elevate B.C.’s biotech sector to new heights, shaping the talent, research, intellectual property andpartnershipsneededtotranslate discoveriesintolifesavingmedicines.”
Dr. James Olson, Deanof the Faculty ofApplied Science, said: “This building is more than just a space for education and research —it’sanengineforinnovationthatwilldrive life-altering solutions. By providing cuttingedge facilities and fostering deep industry partnerships, we are empowering our SBME community to bring new health technologies from concept to reality, creating a healthier andmoreequitablefutureforall.”
For Sogand Golshahian, a fourth-year biomedical engineering student specializing in cellular bioengineering and bioinformatics, thenewfacility representsnewopportunities to bridge classroom learning with hands-on experienceinbiomedicalinnovation.
ThroughSBME’sco-opandresearchopportunities, Golshahianhas been able to applyher skills to real-world projects, from machine learning applications in neuroscience to designing a muscle spasm detection system for intensivecarepatientsinTanzania.

Interiorwise,surprisinglythatsleek arcingrooflinedoesnotcompromise headroomtoomuch.ThenewMuranoiswiderthanbefore,whichmeans ashademorehip-andshoulderroom.
The front cabin has a dash design similartotheNissanAriyaEV,with afauxwoodpanel,capacitiveclimate controls and an upscale feel with leatherandplentyofsoft-touchsurfaces. Fit and finishing is good and thereisdecentlevelofluxurymaterial and soft touch surfaces. There is good front cabin storage with a pass-through compartment, a well sized console bin, plus two USB-C chargingportsforeachsetofseats.
All trims get the excellent Zero Gravity seats, front and back which must be amongst the most comfortablearoundforlongdrives.Rear-seat legroom is decent in the Crossover with 932 L of cargo space behind thebackseat andtherearbenchseat folds 60/40usingleversinthecargo area —revealing atotalof 1,798L ofcargospace.
Ontheroad,theMurano’snewturbo four-cylinderismorethanuptothe task with decent acceleration and power delivery. The Murano feels solid and composed withgood road feel. Driving Modes include Sport and Eco modes, Sport sharpens the throttle parameters and transmission responsiveness, along with a
tad firmer handling. Eco offers a slighter damped down performance with slightly better fuel efficiency. Overall roll stiffness is up 25.5 percent in front, 24.5 percent rear, and new frequency-selective dampers helpsmoothoutroughersurfaces.
Downsides are few for the Murano no hybrid or all-electric version for now although a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain is slated for next year. It is expensive and might makeyouwanttoconsiderthepricier Nissan Ariya EV if you want to go that route, or on the flip side - the slightlylesspremiumNissanRogue is an alternative if there are budget considerations.
To sum up the new Murano is a big improvement on the older generationsofthispopularSUV.Itcertainly looks fantastically upscale than the model it replaces. Key attributes include the fine family hauling capability that can be outfitted from a decentstandardbasespecalltheway to the Platinum models uber luxury spec, brimming with high technology and safety. With its excellent combinationoflooks,equipment,fit and finish, the Nissan Murano will notdisappoint.

B.C. tests emergency alerts to cellphones, TV, radio
To improve public safety in the event of an emergency, a test of the B.C. EmergencyAlert system willoccurat1:55p.m.(Pacifictime)onWednesday, May 7, 2025, as part of Emergency Preparedness Week.
The test alert will be sent to all compatible cellphones, and will interrupt radio and television broadcasts. The test message to cellphones will read:“ThisisaTESToftheB.C.EmergencyAlert system. This is ONLY a TEST. In an emergency, thismessagewouldtellyouwhattodotostaysafe. This information could save your life. Click for more info: www.emergencyinfobc.ca/test. This is ONLYaTEST.Noactionisrequired.”
This test, by the National PublicAlerting System, will assess the system’s readiness for an actual emergencyandidentifyanyrequiredadjustments.
TheB.C.EmergencyAlertsystemwaslaunchedon April6,2018, andis testedtwice a year,in spring and fall. Recognizing the importance of this tool, theProvinceexpandedtheuseofB.C.Emergency Alerts in 2022 beyond tsunami warnings to also includeimminentthreatsfromfloods,wildfiresand extreme-heatemergencies.
Last year, the federal government launched the earthquake early-warning system in British Columbia. If the threshold is met, this system will automatically issue an intrusive alert message to cellphonesinareasexpectedtobeaffected,before strongshakingis felt.This alertmessage provides precious seconds of warning for people to better protectthemselvesandothers.
EnvironmentandClimateChangeCanada(ECCC) is responsible for sending intrusive alerts to cellphones for tornados, hurricanes, severe thunderstorms and storms surges. Police are responsible foralertsforcivilemergenciesandAmberAlerts.
Duringthe2023and2024wildfireseasons,tensof thousandsofpeoplewereaskedtoevacuateonshort noticeduetothethreatofwildfires.B.C.Emergency Alertswereanimportanttooltoprovidepeoplewith timely,life-savinginformation.
