KING ABDULL AH UNIVERSIT Y OF SCIENCE A ND TECHNOLOGY (K AUST )
Thuwal, Saudi Arabia
KAUST is a transformative new international graduate research universitythat brings together the world’s best minds around humanity’s most urgent scientific and technological challenges. Open to men and women from around the world, the university was conceived of by King Abdullah as part of an effort to quickly expand Saudi Arabia’s economy beyond fossil fuels. hok .com
KAUST was envisioned as an entirely new kind of research university, spurring innovation and creativity through a fundamentally different model of organizational structure. KAUST identified four strategic research thrusts and complementary interdisciplinary research centers that apply science and technology to problems of human need and social advancement. Research focuses on the following four thrusts: Energy, Water, Environment, Food and Agriculture. Research centers are developed to support the research thrusts and include: • KAUST Catalysis Center • Clean Combustion Research Center • Plant Stress Genomics Research Center • Solar and Photovoltaics Engineering Research Center • Center for Water Desalination and Reuse • KAUST Advanced Membranes
K AUST
and Porous Materials Center • Red Sea Research Center The flexibility of the universal lab neighborhood allows the co-location of a broad range of multidisciplinary labs with greatly varying environmental and technical requirements. In support of KAUST’s mission of environmental stewardship, HOK designed the campus to rigorous sustainability standards. The campus received a LEED Platinum certification; the largest LEED Platinum project in the world. KAUST is one of the world’s first research universities to build an integrated economic development and technology commercialization program on one campus. Both the organization and the facilities are in place to rapidly take ideas from basic research through

The primary goal of the Kavli Nanoscience Institute is to bring together research laboratories in order to encourage crossdisciplinary collaboration in the concentrated areas of nanobiotechnology and nanophotonics. HOK designed centralized multiuser laboratories in which to conduct research in nanostructure synthesis, fabrication and characterization. The facility accommodates multiple modalities of imaging including SEM, Cryo-SEM and STEM with special measures taken to control acoustics, vibration and The Kavli Nanoscience Institute brings together multiple research laboratories, encouraging cross-disciplinary collaboration across several areas.

providing space for instrument development, characterization, imaging and some metrology operations. HOK’s design supports research into the development of key enabling technologies that are dependent on finding new, more efficient materials for alternative energy. For instance, the creation of nanostructures that increase the surface area of lithium ions or even pure lithium (in a moisture and oxygen free environment) is one of the keys to the development of an electric car that drives 300 miles on a single charge. The laboratory includes Class 100 and Class 1,000 cleanroom space, special measures to control for vibration and environmental conditions, and MEP and HVAC systems designed to accommodate state-of-the-art equipment with specific shielding needs. hok .com

RESE ARCH TRIANGLE INSTITUTE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING BUILDING
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
HOK designed the new Science and Engineering Building for Research Triangle Institute (RTI), an independent research organization. RTI sought to reinforce its master plan by positioning this new building on its central mall and accommodating future phases in a more logical, additive manner. The facility houses clean energy research.

With research programs in energy technology, analytical chemistry and nanotechnology, the laboratories were built and equipped to the exact specifications of those disciplines. Primarily laboratory space (80 percent) including high-bay labs, the building consists of two wings, and was planned with future growth in mind. One wing is occupied by current programs, and the other will be outfitted as needed to accommodate new or expanded programs. The laboratories are highly modular, allowing them to grow The Science and Engineering Building at RTI facilitates scientists and engineers researching and developing solutions to energy-related problems.

RTI’s Energy Researchers are scientists and engineers who conduct applied research and development to solve challenging energy-related problems faced by the power, chemical, and petroleum refining industries, as well as the transportation sector. They work with a variety of industry and government clients to develop technologies that seek to generate cleaner and more efficient sources of energy. HOK’s design for the facility supports a special vibrationfree slab to accommodate a new environmental scanning electron microscope.

DANFORTH PL ANT SCIENCE CENTER ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR INSTITUTE FOR RENEWABLE FUELS
St. Louis, Missouri
With a major objective to create a research institute that would put St. Louis at the forefront of plant science discovery, six organizations in the St. Louis region formed a partnership and challenged HOK (with NGP) to create a highly-interactive flexible, sustainable, world-class plant science institute that includes the new Enterprise Rent-a-Car Institute for Renewable Fuels.

By providing research space to attract and retain the brightest talents, designers set a precedent that would allow for maximum collaboration, interaction and creativity. The three-story building includes facilities for conference and staff amenities, as well as greenhouses with a large headhouse with plant growth chambers and growth rooms. The open, flexible labs are placed in two, three-story blocks with a large atrium between. The lightfilled atrium holds balconies, lounges, meeting rooms and interactive space. Food service, dining, fitness center and a 300seat auditorium round out the The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center is helping to put St. Louis at the forefront of plant science discovery in a flexible, sustainable and interactive Institute.

DONALD DANFORTH PL ANT SCIENCE CENTER
In February, 2007, Jack and Susan Taylor gave a $25 million gift to the Danforth Center to create the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Institute for Renewable Fuels. The Institute has expanded the scientific expertise of the Danforth Center to speed up development of plant-based renewable biofuels. These fuels will decrease the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and reduce the current dependency on fossil fuels in future years. HOK was the Architect of Record for the plant science research facility, completed in 2001, and most recently provided design services for the laboratory fit-ups to support the new Center for Advanced Biofuels Systems (CABS). The CABS project is made possible by a recently awarded $15 million in grants from the US Department of Energy (DOE) in which the Plant Science Center was asked to be home to one of 46 new, multi-million dollar Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs). The EFRCs will pursue advanced scientific research on energy, including increasing the thermodynamic and kinetic efficiency for select plant and algal-based fuel production systems.
