Designing a World Class Laboratory
A Modernized Lab Facility
Functional aspects of the building are enhanced by providing dedicated lab support space and upgrading programmatic and mechanical layouts, while still honoring the historic character of the building. The design accommodates both cryogenic and laser labs in a multi-story building with partial locations for slab-on-grade labs. Programming focused on creating flexible indoor spaces and dedicated outdoor areas for work and socialization, providing a bridge between intense research and staff well-being. The facility plays a significant role in supporting the CHIPS & Science Art for America research and development program and will continue to impact the economy, advance research, and enhance national security.
