Through programmatically diverse structures open to change and adaptation, this suite of three ‘New builds’ — the Minwamon Building, Support Facility and the Science Collaboration Centre — on the Chalk River Laboratories campus together demonstrate Canadian Nuclear Laboratories' (CNL) commitment to clean energy-based solutions towards revitalizing essential site infrastructure while responsibly investing in new, world-class science facilities.

As one of the largest Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) projects in Canada, the three projects focus on the Entry Precinct and the southern half of the Campus Precinct. Together, they share the common attention to innovative construction techniques and details, to integration within the natural setting, and to advanced wood/mass timber construction — honouring the region’s deep logging/lumber history, its economic well-being and its Indigenous territorial roots. The mass timber structure in these buildings help to support CNL’s transformational steps towards a more sustainable, resilient and generationally minded campus outlook.

The buildings were designed and constructed in parallel. This collaborative process in design led to an arrangement of fixed and reconfigurable spaces that adopted flexibility and modular design principles, allowing the facilities to remain relevant for their purpose over the timber’s lifetime — while attracting talented new researchers to Chalk River as well as retaining the research and support staff who have been a part of CNL’s globally-recognized research and commitment to the delivery of science for tomorrow.
