Ecology & Environment, Inc

On a scale befitting the rural setting, the design character of the Analytical Service Center disguises the nature of the highly sophisticated functions within, and responds to this environmental consulting firm’s objectives to create an energy-efficient, state-of-the-art laboratory facility to support its global operations, establish a “showcase” for client services, and create a user-friendly and productive working environment. The ASC is an open, light-filled environment that dispels the common image of a laboratory as cold and sterile with a continuous linear skylight, unifying the wet and dry labs with an administrative core. The company’s world headquarters achieved LEED Platinum certification in 2008.
