The DeCARB Research Group collaborates with industry and community partners to develop and implement next-gen low-carbon technologies, including passive heating, cooling, ventilation, low-carbon construction ecologies, biogenic materials, environmental assessment tools, and prefabrication processes. As part of an international network, they aim to produce immediate and lasting impacts on climate challenge.

Located on McGill’s Macdonald Campus at the Morgan Arboretum entrance, the facility houses research labs, a state-of-the-art fabrication workshop, and a double-height interior for designing and constructing two-story buildings and prefabricated components. It also features an exterior construction yard and outbuildings for wood processing, material storage, and vehicle storage.
