How will design give us an advantage?

Our approach begins by understanding strategic research goals, leading to an inside-out approach. We believe in the synergy between form and function, synthesizing this approach with an understanding of site, context and environment.

Q:

How can a lab be highly fl exible?

The lab environment must accommodate the path of the research itself. To this end, the lab can be designed as an extraordinarily fl exible tool, perhaps the largest and most sophisticated piece of research equipment--allowing reconfi gureation in hours or days, not weeks or months, giving researchers maximum control of their lab environment

Labs are notorious energy consumers. There are huge opportunities for lab designers to recoup owners’ costs through strategies that reduce energy use. Organizations that reduce their life cycle energy costs are then positioned to invest more into actual research--the principle focus of any research facility.

A: payback

Q:

How can sustainability work for me?

University of Southern Indiana

On average, green buildings benefi t as: Energy use decreases by 24-50% Water use decreases by 40%Solid waste decreases by 70%Operating costs decrease by 8-9%Building value increases by 7.5%Return on investment improves by 6.6%Occupancy ratio increases by 3.5% Source: Environmental Information Administration and McGraw-Hill Construction, 2008

CONNECT

“The building is very successful in achieving what we wanted and what it actually delivers. The elements that we had hoped for: a

collaborative environment, interaction between research teams, views of laboratories from offi ces and other labs, access to day-

light – are all there. This is one of the best designed labs that I have ever seen.”

- Keld Sorensen, Director of Research and Development, Sigma-Aldrich Biotechnology
