UBC has opened a $45 million expansion of the Beaty Biodiversity Centre, made possible by philanthropic support from the Ross and Trisha Beaty family and Gordon B. Shrum, matched by UBC.
The Centre houses the Biodiversity Research Centre and the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. The extension enhances UBC’s ability to address biodiversity loss with new research and meeting spaces that foster interdisciplinary collaboration within the university and with external partners. It also adds a new fossil storage room for the Beaty Biodiversity Museum and a pollinator garden supporting local biodiversity.
