A new Forensics Crime Scene Facility breaking ground this spring at Trent University that will aim to set new academic and environmental standards all at once.
The building will be Canada’s first zero-carbon building certified by the International Living Future Institute.
We spoke with Associate Professor Barry Saville.
The new facility will unite spaces for staging crime scenes, facilities for analyzing evidence and exhibits, as well as a classroom for reviewing and evaluating student performance.
Director at the Endeavours Centre Chris Magwood says it will be made of materials with carbon-storing properties and powered primarily by renewable energy.
The new building will be located on the core campus beside Otonabee College just down the hill from East Bank Drive.
