CannonDesign
Crossing geographies and markets, CannonDesign’s Science and Technology Practice collaborates and innovates globally.
Using a diversity of interdisciplinary
design skills and thought leadership,
we assist educators, corporations,
governments and healers to discover
and create the products and services
of tomorrow.
This unique methodology,
combining world-class strategists,
scientific futurists and business
innovators, with architects,
engineers and construction services
enables us to integrate a unique
range of design-led services
across all scales and ranges. We
work with campuses and teams to
conceive transformational systems,
strategies, products, environments
and experiences.
By integrating economic
impact, social responsibility and
environmental stewardship with
enterprise planning, cultural change
and state of the art technologies we
are defining the optimum working
and learning environments for the
future of discovery and innovation.

Our Commitment
to Sustainability
Our world has evolved into one of
unlimited needs and aspirations, yet one
with increasingly limited and threatened
resources. We are on a journey of
continuous improvement leveraging
our integrated culture to bring greater
value to our clients and help solve
some of society’s greatest resource
challenges. We focus on sustainable
design because it matters. It matters
to the greater good of improving
our environment for generations to
come and it matters to the clients with
whom we partner. Our designs deliver
enduring value by creating durable high-
performance buildings, reducing cost,
and optimizing resource consumption.

Redefining Water Conservation
and Interdisciplinary Science
Eckerd College, James Center for Molecular and Life Sciences
St. Petersburg, Florida
With a legion of budding science scholars at the core of its student
body, Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida commissioned
a state-of-the-art science building to further strengthen its
distinctive biology, chemistry and biochemistry programs.
Adhering to its core values of ecological and environmental
stewardship, the school worked closely with CannonDesign
to employ multiple sustainability measures. One particularly
innovative feature is a revolutionary air-conditioning system
which capitalizes upon a pipeline of reclaimed, nonpotable
water from the nearby St. Petersburg wastewater treatment
facility to cool the building. This eliminated the need for a
cooling tower, saving 7.5 million gallons of water every year.
These innovations saved Eckerd more than $750,000 over the
life of the system. This and other measures helped earn the
JCMLS LEED Platinum certification from GBCI/USGBC.

Revolutionizing
Lab Renovation
Yale University, Sterling Chemistry Lab
New Haven, Connecticut
Higher education facilities around the
US are facing the challenge of aging
labs inside existing buildings—some
with historical value and importance
to the campus fabric. Yale University’s
Sterling Chemistry Lab is undergoing a
major transformation while preserving
the exterior architecture of the historic
building. In a bold approach to
sustainability and preservation, the
design solution carves out the old
building interior, inserts state-of-the-art
chemistry and biology labs and marries
the new science environment with the
existing building shell. The project is
pursuing LEED Gold certification.

Sustainable Features Inspired
by the Program Within
SUNY Oswego, Richard S. Shineman Center for
Science, Engineering and Innovation
Oswego, New York
The center was formed by the expansion of an
existing science building and the demolition of
another. The complex takes its inspiration from the
program within its walls. To achieve LEED Gold
certification, a geothermal heat pump system uses
252 499-foot-deep bore holes under an adjacent
parking lot to transfer heat between the building
and the earth, to create 800 tons of cooling,
minimizing reliance on the campus’s steam supply
and reducing the building’s carbon emissions by
200 metric tons per year.
The geothermal system reduces energy consumption by
57% annually compared to existing campus buildings and
46%reduction in potable water use

Bringing Learning,
Research & Industry
Together
University of Kansas, Earth, Energy,
and Environment Center
Lawrence, Kansas
The University of Kansas has
embarked on a journey to rethink
and expand their science teaching
and research to focus on developing
top-notch research in high-demand
areas of geology and petroleum
industries. The center will provide a
central rallying point for all energy
and environment research and
teaching on campus. In addition, its
technology transfer and outreach
center will provide the public face
of KU’s energy and environment
expertise and link it to national
and international industries.

Promoting Interdisciplinary
Collaboration
Webster University, Interdisciplinary
Science Building
Saint Louis, Missouri
The project will explore new ways to achieve
sustainable design aspirations in a building
that brings the departments of Anthropology,
Sociology & Psychology, Institute for Human
Rights, International Languages and Cultures,
Nurse Anesthesia, Nursing, Biology, Chemistry,
and Physics together to promote interdisciplinary
collaboration amongst these disciplines that
are currently located in different buildings
across campus. The program includes both
teaching and research laboratories that would
promote undergraduate research and enhanced
student faculty collaboration. Student commons
is distributed throughout including in the
faculty office areas to encourage students
to interact with faculty and have places to
collaborate amongst themselves. The project
is pursuing LEED Gold certification.
