reSearch-led deSign

Decision-making in the early stages of a project can fundamentally impact a completed facility,

particularly in buildings that must cope with the changing demands of science. Producing accurate,

consistent and comparative information about the building type is invaluable, allowing stakeholders to

make informed decisions from the outset. Our work is underpinned by research-led design through

the work of IBI THiNK. We work with industry partners, research institutions and end users to highlight

the important link between research and practice. Through gathered evidence and experience, we test

design solutions and theories to improve the quality, efficiency and sustainability of our buildings

inSpirational SpaceS

The facilities of a research institution reflect its reputation. To attract high calibre

professionals and to retain existing staff, providing the right facilities in the most

appropriate environment can make a real difference.

By listening to the needs of scientists and researchers, IBI designers know exactly

what makes a good laboratory and have the expertise to deliver buildings that

are expressly tailored to end users. Capitalising on productivity is bottom line, but

investing in the research environment will widen possibilities for interaction and

inspire prospective new talent.

flexible SpaceS

Flexibility to accommodate change is a key objective of any research facility. At

IBI, we believe that flexibility covers three important requirements; adaptability,

convertibility and expandability. Our buildings facilitate adaptation to operational

change, are capable of being converted to accommodate different functions, and

can be expanded in the future.

deSigning buildingS for Scientific diScoverY

What is science without discovery? In such a competitive market, success

is predominantly measured by papers and citations; so optimal efficiency is

critical in the design and management of research facilities.

But for research to thrive, the facilities of tomorrow must transcend functional

efficiency, providing welcoming and stimulating places to work and learn

which will stand the test of time through their flexibility and durability. Our

vision is to create environments that can aid discovery by encouraging

collaboration and excellence among staff.

6

The studio delivers specialist science and research environments

across the globe, meeting the needs and aspirations of stakeholders

and investors; particularly those looking to implement a world-

class perspective, and develop facilities at the forefront of global

development.

Our core team brings together some of the best science designers

in the business. With experts working in collaboration across North

America and Europe, we pursue best practice and innovation in every

building we design.

As a leading centre for science and research, our vision is to support

our clients and our staff by sharing knowledge, producing guidance

and establishing strategic partnerships to advance the design of

facilities, safeguarding them for the future.

Our Global Science Design Studio is one of IBI’s Centres of Excellence, dedicated to the craft of science facility design.

clinicians and cancer patients; one of the largest vivariums in Canada;

and specialised support infrastructure located on a tight urban site.

The distinctive building is highly visible from West Broadway, a major

east-west corridor in the city, and serves as a constant reminder to

vancouver residents of the important work being done there. The

north and south façades use distinctive petri-dish shaped windows,

15 feet in diameter, denoting individual lab units. The Heather Street

bespoke laboratory benchoxford Molecular pathologY inStitute, univerSitY of oxford, united KingdoM

Our commitment to innovation and research in every field of building

design led us to develop a solution for the main laboratory bench

at Oxford Molecular Pathology Institute (OMPI), which fits the

user’s requirements in a bespoke, affordable and robust way. By

evaluating the standard components in lab furniture construction and

reconfiguring them in such a way that responded directly to the client

brief, we were able to provide a combined lab bench, storage and

write up unit that seamlessly integrated power and data requirements

whilst providing an ergonomic, easy to use work station.

Serviced from the ceiling void to ensure maximum flexibility, the

bench uses coloured glass panels at the back of the upper bench

storage compartments to help identify each floor. The design was

tested vigorously through a ‘mock up’ process that enabled users

to experiment with equipment storage and bench space provisions,

whilst assessing the build quality offer by four potential suppliers.

This project is the first phase of a multi-phased development

programme at Stevenage Bioscience Park.

The Phase 1 development comprises a fitted out Bio-incubator

building with an integrated ‘hub’ area of 5600m2 gross internal floor

area, and an accelerator building to Shell and Core Category A

finish of around 4,400m2 floor area.

Prior to submission for planning, the team continued developing the elevations whilst producing the required submission material, including coloured elevations and 3D views.

This included further coordination with the engineers on the size and

esign Progress2.2 Elevational Appearance Development

Following the publication and sign off of Stage C, the team has been progressing the design, in a collaborative and coordinated manner, to ensure the design has developed in equal steps through the consultant disciplines. At the end of Stage C we presented a number of elevational appearance options, of which two where selected to be developed in more detail to allow the SBP to select their preferred option.

These developed options where presented on the 25 June alongside a detailed cost plan. From this a preferred option was selected by the SBP for development. This option was presented to GSK Stevenage where the design was welcomed alongside a number of comments regarding the impact on the site.

2.0 Architectural Design Progress

The main areas of concern with the preferred option was the appearance of the Incubator elevation adjacent the north loop road roundabout, the associated service yard and number of materials in the elevation palette.

Following these comments the team then developed the preferred option. Part of this development included looking at the roof top plant screening. Both buildings have exposed roof mounted plant and some of the external walls have been extended above roof level to provide screening.

This was presented to the Construction Board for approval, alongside approval to submit for planning. Approval was given subject to the team rationalising the elevations to maintain budget and omitting the projecting fin wall on the Incubator.
