Brown University Leo Li Labs
Our expertise ranges from advanced manufacturing to R&D projects. We take a collaborative approach that delivers exceptional results for today’s leading research institutions and top biotech, medical device, and pharmaceutical companies.
We seek out and embrace challenging work, from master planning and feasibility studies to complex lab planning and lab design projects.
We take pride in creating research environments that are safe, well-crafted, and inspire their users—today and years into the future.
The possibilities of research reach as far the capabilities of your labs
We expertly program and stack labs that elevate your organization’s research and push the limits of ever-changing building and sustainability codes. Design expertise alone is not enough. SMMA’s lab planning team is formed of architects, engineers, and lab-scientists-turned-planners. We educate ourselves in clients’ workflows to understand precisely what each scientist—and institution—needs from their space.
“Understanding how science is taught, researched, and applied across educational, institutional, and commercial settings informs better planning and design. Transferring ideas between these environments helps us expand our thinking and broaden design options, enhancing our ability to solve complex challenges creatively.”
