UBC Perception & Cognition Lab Renovation

Douglas Kenny Building (KENN) Rooms 3201, 3202, 3203, 3205, 3207, & 3208

Construction on the UBC Perception & Cognition Lab (Ongchoco Lab) Renovation is anticipated to begin on July 14, 2025, and to be completed in October 2025.

This renovation will rearrange the rooms to provide a graduate student workspace and multiple testing rooms, including an eye tracking station and multipurpose room with a projector.

Here’s what to expect

• Some noise from construction activities is to be expected for users of the Douglas Kenny Building, concentrated on the third floor.
  • The majority of the noisy work from demolition will be during the first few weeks of construction and will be restricted to 6:00 am to 3:00 pm.
• There will be no access to rooms 3201, 3202, 3203, 3205, 3207, & 3208 during construction.
• A laydown area will be set up near the construction site, location TBD.
