Earlier this year, I was asked to help the MiNa Group at The University of British Columbia put together a Drupal site to serve as a technology showcase and resource catalog for the group. Here's what we came up with:

http://www.mina.ubc.ca/

The site was built from scratch for the University, based on a very specific set of design requirements. For example, The University decided it was targeting high-resolution, wide screen monitors. The result is a wide, fluid layout, designed to take advantage of the extra space provided by these types of displays. The site also had to fit in with the "common look and feel" present on other sections of the University's site.

The site utilizes many different modules in order to facilitate easy access to the vast resources the Group wanted to make available. Some of the modules used include Biblio, Node Family, Node Profile, User Node, Related Content, and Views Fusion. The site also takes advantage of Drupal's strong taxonomy features.

It appears the University's MySQL server is having some problems today. I'm sure their system administrator will have it fixed shortly.

I'm still seeing SQL errors there, too. Is the design constrained by UBC's web policies? It seems very minimal, and it's hard to read on my 17" monitor due to the fluid layout. Otherwise looks good!

The design requirements were very specific, including the decision to use a fluid layout. It's not my personal preference, but it's what they felt worked best for them.

I emailed my contact at the university about the server problems. They're smart guys, but probably busy with other things.
