UBC Campus-Wide Seismic Protection Guideline for Contents

Vancouver, Canada

Serving as a consultant to Arup, Kandou’s founder developed the University of British Columbia’s campus guideline for seismic protection of building contents. The work organized and defined practical, vendor-ready measures for more than thirty categories of contents, including laboratory equipment, hazardous materials, museum collections, archives, and office furnishings. The guideline translates seismic risk into clear actions for safety and continuity of operations, with solutions targeted to facility managers and contractors and aimed at reducing large potential contents losses and downtime across the portfolio.
