In addition to directly reducing energy and materials use, the Factor Four initiative is looking to make holistic changes to the attitudes of our staff and students. While energy and material conservation initiatives are ongoing, the restoration component of Factor Four has plans to change the BCIT community’s perception of this area.

They have met with the students to guide them in their work and the final design has now been shared with the architects in charge of the implementation. Another example of enhanced learning experience through the living lab approach!
