I conducted a study of the use of the East side of the NEST at UBC on a sunny afternoon one day this week. I wanted to explore whether the new turf field was actually in use – to my delight it was well populated that day. I also looked at the areas around the NEST to study how the availability of green space and spatial programming influences the experience of the gathering space on the western side of the building.

Stormwater study in Nest at UBC Oct. 6th 2020
Sections show the stormwater collection system in Nest.
When I walked in the building, I found out the stormwater pipeline runs on the ceiling of the main floor. Also, the direction is from upstairs to two directions, West and East. One pipe is connected with downstairs from a pizza restaurant, another connects with the ceiling of RBC and directs to the exterior.
