HOK Science + Technology
designing places that work for people.
an introduction to HOK’s Science + Technology facilities + capabilities
trends in science Moving the design of science environments forward is a driving force of the HOK Science + Technology group. From multidisciplinary research, evolving pedagogies for science education and forward thinking scientific workplace design, this group is at the forefront of the profession in understanding emerging issues and trends.
scientific workplace Like the practice of science itself, the formula for creating the ideal scientific workplace that helps organizations focus on research continues to evolve. Testing new workplace ideas, measuring outcomes and making improvements over time can transform the workplace as well as the research it supports. Considering the office, traditional laboratory and all the workspaces in between, a giant laboratory for new ideas, processes and technologies is appropriate — and perhaps essential — for advancing science.
academic workplace Just as companies are seeking more interdisciplinary and collaborative workplace solutions, so are colleges and universities. In turn, they’re looking to designers for approaches that solve their unique challenges around Culture, Space and Tools. As the academic world looks outside of traditional design responses, they’re finding exciting new answers that are minimizing space while they bring together students and faculty.
innovation hubs As the competition for students, faculty, researchers and funding becomes more intense; how will your institution compete? What experiences will you offer them to create continuous learners that succeed and give back to others? Through an exploration of the evolution of Maker Spaces as they become more inclusive of all disciplines, we propose the concept of the Innovation Hub: a transformative creative catalyst where learners and doers from every walk of life can come together to think, share, and create whatever they can imagine.
translational research The breaking down of individual silos and shift to a team-based, cooperative approach has become a necessity in translational research. The resulting paradigm shift has affected funding and also how facilities are being designed and upgraded. These fast-moving changes mean design must bridge the gap between discovery and patient care -- forcing design teams to think outside their own traditional boxes. While the initial experiences of researchers at those facilities are mostly positive, the design community can build upon these experiences when developing frameworks for future translational research facilities.
well buildings Furthering HOK’s aspiration to enhance people’s lives through design, we are pioneering well building design. Our participation in the Well Living Lab Alliance means we’re involved at the ground level with important research on how the built environment impacts human health. HOK’s expertise in architectural and interior design combined with our access to this research through the Well Living Lab will allow us to translate our research into insights that inform building design.

the francis crick institute Breaking with traditional governance and tenure structures in research institutions, the Francis Crick Institute represents a major paradigm shift for biomedical research in the UK and the global research community. Multidisciplinary and collaborative environments enable a strategy where scientists have a broad scientific remit, and where few ideas are off limits.
I do think architecture matters. You need to go into a building and feel inspiration.� -Sir Paul Nurse Director of the Francis Crick Institute
stanford university The 1651 Page Mill Road Renewal is a complete renovation that provides new, high-performance biomedical research laboratories for the School of Medicine. Utilizing an innovative new programming process, we developed an exciting new flexible laboratory model that combines wet and dry biomedical and bioengineering bench space with bioinformatics in a home base lab approximately twice the size of the previous models.

penn state university The Chemical Engineering | Biomedical Engineering Building will colocate chemical engineering with biomedical engineering in a building that combines research + learning space, collaboration space, and maker space, all in a design that will effectively leverage sustainability strategies.
confidential life sciences client This new animal health vaccine research facility accommodates technology-integrated laboratories which are modular in their approach, flexible, adaptable, day-lit, provide views to the outdoors. The office zones, separated mechanically, have critical adjacencies to the lab areas, with office zones located and designed to support flexible and adaptable neighborhoods.
I think the facility is welldesigned, functional and will be an enjoyable place to work for the vaccines research folks for many years to come. - Client Project Manager
soka university The STEM Expansion Building is a new academic and research science facility that will support faculty and curriculum expansion in keeping with SUA’s mission to educate and develop the whole individual and foster interaction at all levels. The building will celebrate science on display inside and outside. To promote hands on learning and interaction, via group projects and engagement with their peers/faculty, visibility, transparency and ample collaboration space have been provided inside and outside the labs.
lg science park This new park will create a consolidated campus to support collaborative research in electronics development. The facilities will house chemistry, biology, engineering and electronics labs as well as over 45,000 sq. ft. of cleanroom/fabrication space from Class 10 to Class 100,000. The park will include a facility where collaborative research with small start up companies, small firms, as well as engineering students can work on an intern basis to help support strong economic and employee development.

As part of a larger, campus-wide development, this interdisciplinary research facility is being developed on the university’s Gilmorehill Campus in Scotland to support interdisciplinary research excellence organized into thematic clusters. It will provide interaction and collaboration space for the entire university research community as well as interdisciplinary core facilities.
The Research Hub will have a focus on developing excellence in our crossdisciplinary research, providing space for new collaborations to flourish.� - Professor Jon Cooper Vice Principal, Innovation + Knowledge Exchange
cardiff university translational research facility
As part of the broader Cardiff University Innovation Campus plan focused on innovation to enable the university to engage with the private sector to generate commercial revenue streams to support significant research programs. The Translational Research Facility is a visionary new 129,000-sq.-ft. research hub that will accommodate two world-leading institutes: the Cardiff Catalysis Institute and the Institute for Compound Semiconductors.
Creating the Innovation Campus will help leading researchers and entrepreneurial students turn research into real world answers, bringing social and economic benefits to Wales and beyond.� - Professor Hywel Thomas,
Pro Vice-chancellor of Research, Innovation and Engagement
fondazione ri med biomedical research and biotechnology center
Intended to generate exciting scientific discoveries that will translate into new and better cures and bring great social and economic benefits to Sicily and Italy, the world-class research facility will be a global hub for biomedical research and development.
