Science & Technology


We design for people. We design to enhance the human experience and leave a lasting and positive impact on people’s lives and the world we inhabit. It starts and ends with the human being; if everything is design, everything we do is Human by Design.
We believe design is both art and science, analysis combined with ingenuity. Truly creative and sustainable solutions are found when we question assumptions and challenge the status quo, building in the spaces where innovation meets the imagination.
Our practice is global; our work local. And so our size and diversity is our strength we collaborate seamlessly across borders, barriers, and disciplines to connect people and ideas. By listening well and building consensus, we deliver design solutions that exceed expectations.
The best and boldest work comes through true partnership with our clients as we collaborate to achieve their goals. Sometimes that means challenging ourselves, sometimes it requires challenging them. It always means building trusted relationships that stand the test of time.
We design for a sustainable and resilient future. The bond between humans and nature is unbreakable, and we have an inherent responsibility to enhance the health and wellbeing of our people, our communities, and our planet. Embracing the patterns of nature, we strive to uncover the possibilities of design.
Taking our work from concept to reality lies at the heart of our practice there’s no greater reward than implementing a big idea. We deliver design solutions, always of the highest quality, with care and craft. We strive to deliver sustainability imaginatively. Whatever it takes, we deliver.
We are a diverse and complementary collection of thinkers, dreamers, and doers. We challenge ourselves, stretching each other and pushing boundaries together to create a collaborative organization an organism that lives, evolves, and belongs to us all.

SENIOR LIVING WORKPLACE
“We now have this beautiful engineering campus. The friendships and arguments that are going to be held in this space will drive humanity forward.”
JAMES MCKELVEY, JR.
Washington University at St. Louis, James M. McKelvey Sr. Hall of Engineering
We embrace collaboration as a way to help researchers advance scientific knowledge. We work with nationally recognized research institutions to facilitate and coordinate interdisciplinary and collaborative projects among multiple departments.
“People make discoveries and advance science, not buildings. But the right environment helps foster a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach that’s essential to scientific breakthroughs.”
PROF. EDWARD W. “ROCKY” KOLB, DEAN OF THE DIVISION OF THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
Universityof
Chicago, Michelson Center for Physics Research
Collaboration and interaction are key factors in the design of research laboratories and shared spaces. Strategic design interventions seek a balance between traditional work and informal discovery spaces.
“The project team was selected ... because of their expertise designing similar academic facilities, and emphasis on an iterative design process, soliciting input from the user groups at each stage.”
EMIL J. MARTINEC, DIRECTOR, KADANOFF CENTER FOR THEORETICAL PHYSICS DIRECTOR EMERITUS, ENRICO FERMI INSTITUTE
“This is a transformative moment for Camden. This building represents Rutgers’ first bold step in forging an ‘eds and meds’ corridor that moves us closer toward our vision of a city where innovation in healthcare and bioscience commands the imagination of the world.”
CHANCELLOR PHOEBE HADDON, RUTGERS UNIVERSITY, SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND NURSING
“This magnificent new building signifies a reaffirmation of Winthrop’s commitment to our mission of caring for the sick and injured, teaching physicians, and research.”
—JOHN F. COLLINS, WINTHROP UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT AND CEO
NYU Langone Health (formerly Winthrop University), Research & Academic Center
Research and discovery thrive in a highly adaptive, connective layout with dynamic support, resource, and display capabilities.

“The David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at MSK creates the space, in every sense of the word, for our breakthrough research and therapies to stand in lockstep with our steadfast commitment to truly care for each person as an individual.”
LISA DEANGELIS, MD, PHYSICIAN-IN-CHIEF AND CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER OF MEMORIAL SLOAN KETTERING
Building a collective understanding leads to the determination, rapid exploration and distribution of effective treatments.
Science and technology focused environments benefit from our global perspective in research & development, learning, healthcare, and workplace.

The research environment has become a more complex organism, dependent on the interaction between various equally important functions.
The labs we design are springboards to understand which hypotheses make sense and prove their value. We are focused on creating an environment where data scientists can ask questions, build models, and experiment with data.
“The

new academic building with the high ceilings and the roll up [doors] allows us to do a lot of things we can’t do right now. It allows the student to build an actual photovoltaic system, or a wind-powered system or a hybrid go-cart inside, roll it outside, test it and bring it back inside for repairs or reinvention.”
PATRICK HOSSAY, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF SUSTAINABILITY, STOCKTON UNIVERSITY
“Perkins Eastman has been great for us — creative, responsive, and professional. The team performs like a true vested partner throughout the entire design and construction process.”
Donald Hudson, AIA, Associate Vice President for Facilities & Construction, Stockton University
Being in a controlled setting, the researchers are able to control everything that is happening and can minimize any outside influences.
