In this episode of NGBiPlus, Jim Wilson sits down with Mary Georgious and Liam Brown who are members of the team at McCallum-Sather Architects to explore the company's forward-thinking approach to sustainable, integrated design in the life sciences sector. Mary and Liam share how their architectural and mechanical engineering expertise come together to shape high-performance lab environments and discuss the importance of collaboration, adaptability, and user-centered planning—especially when transforming aging facilities into modern research spaces. Their work on the University of Waterloo’s Earth Sciences and Chemistry complex offers a compelling look at the opportunities and challenges of renovating existing buildings to meet today’s scientific and environmental standards.
