The design is future-driven and scalable.
Tenants can rent anything from a single lab bench to a full lab suite with office space. Modular benches and furniture can be modified to suit a diverse range of research types based on tenants’ needs.
The lab MEP systems account for future installation of more fume hoods and the conversion of tissue culture spaces into other uses. A powerful, wirelessly programmable LED lighting system magnetically attaches to the ceiling grid to enable multi-directional lighting and lab flexibility. Pre-assembled plumbing rack modules enhance the quality, schedule, and coordination of the project.
The existing building relied on a mishmash of structural systems and construction methods.
For the new project, the lab planning unifies the structure into a modular, scalable, and flexible design.
The design retains a singular wall of exposed brick beside the main staircase, blending old and new.
Some existing columns are as tight as 10 feet apart.
The design prioritizes the most suitable program elements for different parts of the building by focusing on the ceiling plane as the primary avenue for the delivery of utilities.
