TELUS Park is a consolidated regional campus designed by Lemay for TELUS at the edge of the Hyland Creek ecological corridor, a riparian zone of provincial importance in one of British Columbia’s fastest-growing cities.
The project was organized around a single guiding principle: earn the building’s place in Surrey by giving more to the land than it takes from it. By vertically stacking and integrating multiple operational functions — administrative offices, training facilities, fleet operations, logistics, warehousing, and structured parking — within a compact footprint, Lemay significantly reduced site coverage and restored 2,400 m² of green space to the adjacent Hyland Creek corridor.
The building’s environmental ambition is expressed at every scale. A high-performance façade incorporating bird-friendly glazing balances solar control with daylight optimization. Mechanical engineering led by Introba supports BC Step Code Level 2 performance and an ongoing Zero Carbon Building certification process. A rooftop solar array is projected to offset approximately 36% of annual energy consumption.
Inside, wood is the defining design gesture. Slats wrap the elevator core in the atrium and fold onto the ceiling plane, anchored by a living tree planted directly into the floor. Sculpted acoustic baffles introduce softness against the industrial shell, while floor-to-ceiling glazing frames uninterrupted views of the landscaped grounds. A significant portion of furniture was recovered and repurposed, and locally sourced BC maple supports the biophilic environment aligned with TELUS’s Future Friendly Workplace program.
A flexible event area connects to a programmed courtyard at the edge of the corridor, allowing TELUS to convene teams from across the region in direct connection with the natural landscape.
