Description
Dedicated to the fields of biology, chemistry, biomedical engineering, and bioinformatics, the 184,000 sf Center houses laboratories for university, private and grant-driven research, as well as two BME classrooms, a 144-seat seminar room, and conference center. A central receiving and chemical-dispensing facility serves the new building as well as existing laboratories to either side. The design responds to challenges including a dense urban site, a small footprint, city height restrictions and demanding square-footage requirements for research space—delivering a building that is 65 percent efficient.
