The Queen’s Innovation and Wellness Centre (QIWC), located on the site of the former Physical Education Centre, is a four-storey facility that integrates innovation, wellness, and academic excellence under one roof. The centre is home to the Queen’s Innovation Hub – anchored by the successful Queen’s Innovation Connector – as well as state-of-the-art interdisciplinary laboratories. The Wellness Centre features athletic and recreation facilities, the Queen’s University International Centre, and a new Exam Centre. This co-location of innovation and wellness services fosters collaboration and highlights the strong connection between mental health, physical well-being, and academic success. Mechanically, the project includes two lower mechanical rooms, two penthouse mechanical rooms, and a chilled water plant fed from the adjacent Athletics and Recreation Centre (ARC). Heating is provided through steam heating coils supplied by a central steam plant, which distributes steam to eight air handling units serving various zones throughout the building. The laboratories are equipped with dedicated lab air, lab vacuum, and Reverse Osmosis (RO) water systems to support a wide range of scientific procedures. Fume hood exhaust is handled by high-plume exhaust fans designed to safely disperse air well above occupied levels. The building design incorporates large atriums that fill interior spaces with natural light and multipurpose collaboration areas that encourage interdisciplinary interaction. A complete network of high-pressure steam process piping distributes steam generated from the campus’s central plant to serve heating, hydronic water terminal units, domestic hot water, and humidity control systems throughout the facility. The Queen’s Innovation and Wellness Centre stands as a modern example of how integrated mechanical design and thoughtful architecture can enhance both innovation and student well-being. The original space was occupied during construction.
