Our clients tell us they value our straight-forward and open approach to communication and negotiation throughout the process. We work with you to develop a strong brief and a set of agreed planning principles. These give a structured framework to the project and ensure a cohesive design from start to finish.

Translational Research Institute Wilson Architects + Donovan Hill, Architects in Association

Laboratories for people Our research shows that a positive workplace environment really does have a significant impact on researchers’ wellbeing and productivity, and research outcomes. This is why we design research and laboratory spaces that: •

are spacious and efficient, with cost-effective systems

•

are connected and transparent

•

are inspiring to work in

•

offer spaces for quiet, individual research, as well as places to collaborate with colleagues

•

meet all government standards for laboratory safety and procedures, while providing an appealing and comfortable, high quality workplace.

Translational Research Institute Spacious laboratory and write-up areas are connected with light and views to other research spaces, hug the edge of an outdoor room with views back to the city.

Optimising laboratory space & systems We understand how to design functional, costeffective and durable laboratories. The complex requirements of labs and their associated spaces need coordinated service strategies to support them. Our experience designing many different kinds of laboratories, and our follow-up longitudinal research into how they perform, has given us a clear insight into the most efficient systems for laboratory furniture and services. We build flexibility into all our laboratory designs so they can adapt to changes in your research program, resourcing and safety standards.

Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Berghofer Medical Research Institute

A connected and transparent workplace... Transparency within research spaces reinforces the sense of community, encouraging collaboration. For example, locating spaces for interaction (such as meeting rooms, and circulation hubs) at key vantage points gives a sense of connection with the wider research community. It also increases natural light, and provides a more inspiring and attractive environment.

Break out spaces and write up areas are connected to research spaces, wrapping the perimeter edge to the atrium within the University of New South Wales, Wallace Wurth Redevelopment for the Faculty of Medicine.

...with a choice of settings Collective breakout spaces, common areas and forums can be contrasted with other more intimate spaces conducive to the quiet focus of research or interaction with others. Similarly, internal controlled environments can contrast with accessible, landscaped outdoor spaces.

Queensland Institute of Medical Research

Berghofer Medical Research Institute The Queensland Institute of Medical Research demonstrates how to build a framework for research to operate without silos and hierarchies, for a large cohort of researchers. The QIMR is one of Queensland’s premier research institutes with an international reputation. One of the main design challenges was to create a single focal centrepiece and the new entrance out of the existing buildings. The new building links the three existing QIMR buildings to become one identifiable entity. The facility accommodates a further 400 research scientists and support staff to bring total capacity to almost 1200 people. To encourage a sense of community among so many people, Wilson Architects created a floor for common activities that brings all the researchers together in one space with access to external areas, meeting and event spaces. This design physically consolidated the organisational restructuring that QIMR undertook during the project. The building design provides a high quality work environment and maximises interaction between all of the building occupants. The world-class laboratory facilities are flexible spaces with the infrastructure capabilities to adapt to new technologies and emerging trends in scientific research practice, and cope with changes in legislation and standards.

Princess Alexandra Hospital

Translational Research Institute

The Translational Research Institute is Australia’s most comprehensive medical research and biopharmaceutical facility. It brings together four major research bodies with the aim of accelerating research and encouraging innovation in biomedical fields. Spacious laboratory and write-up areas connected with light and views to other research spaces, hug the edge of the outdoor room with views back to the city. Shared circulation occurs along an arcade with amazingly transparent cross views. Write-up spaces connect to the laboratories with floor to ceiling glass maintaining views out of both workspaces at all times, including critical visual links to the courtyard arcade and social spaces. The planning strategy enables scientists to move throughout all laboratories across all floors without leaving the controlled environment. Meeting, gathering and circulation spaces within the work areas are consolidated at key points to maximise immediacy and casual encounter across and between floors with choices of settings to suit occupation scenarios. Associated boardroom and staff terraces provide prospect and outlook over the PAH campus and city, providing views to TRI’s affiliated institutional partners at QUT, UQ and the Mater Hospital. The outdoor room can accommodate large functions undercover, positioning TRI as an event site. The belvedere, a more intimate meeting place is one of the several open public spaces that offsets its momentous scale. Project video link: https://vimeo.com/68732363 Client

University of New South Wales

Lowy Cancer Research Institute The Lowy Cancer Research Centre, a joint venture development between the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the Children’s Cancer Institute Australia (CCIA) at the UNSW Kensington Campus in Sydney, brings together childhood and adult cancer research on the one site. The challenge was to encourage 400 researchers, many of who are often out of the building or in the hospital, to share and collaborate in informal, as well as formal ways. The transparency and openness of the design, combined with the many physical links and views to buildings on and off campus create a strong sense of connection. The corridors have become a significant feature housing a network of informal kitchens and lounges. There are also small group work spaces in the corridor as well as event spaces with programmed activities. The shared common interaction areas link to the Wallace Wurth building and have provided a strong connection between the buildings and researchers since they were built.

Faculty of Medicine, Wallace Wurth Building Redevelopment Following on from the success of the Lowy Institute, the Wallace Wurth Building at the UNSW redeveloped the teaching, learning and research spaces for the Faculty of Medicine and the Institute of Virology. The project involved the detailed briefing and design for two levels of undergraduate teaching spaces; upper floors containing scientific microbiological research laboratories and associated office write up spaces; and a separate tenancy for the Institute of Virology accommodating its research laboratories, including a PC3 suite, and dry research spaces. The whole development accommodates over 1250 students and 750 research personnel. The design created an atrium in the space between the Lowy Institute and the Wallace Wurth redevelopment that takes advantage of the nexus of meeting rooms and connections already in the Lowy Centre. This creates opportunities for broader interactions between researchers, students and staff.

Traditionally, this type of facility is inward-facing in nature because the complex machines require layers of structure to provide a stable environment for experimentation free from vibration and magnetic interference. In contrast, the CAI is designed to include areas of interaction and collaboration across all levels. The environment has been carefully designed to be an appealing and comfortable place to work, where the needs of the researchers to share knowledge and be part of a community are as important as the technical requirements of the equipment. 15
