Collaboration and interaction are key factors in the design of research laboratories 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
Research and discovery thrive in a highly adaptive, connective layout with dynamic support, resource, and display capabilities.
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 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
We design cGMP suites and facilities to ensure drugs and therapies are fit for intended use, safe, and in compliance with regulations. Outlined by the National Institute of Health (NIH), Office of Biotechnology Activities (OBA), through the Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC), the GMP laboratories are designed and constructed to Bio Safety Level 2 (BSL2) and BSL3 standards.
• BSL2 / BSL3 Viral vector cell therapy lab and non-viral cell therapy lab along with a cell processing support lab handling quality control.
• The cGMP lab supports the functions of the Apheresis suite and Bone Marrow Transfusion department.
• Dedicated air handler unit with redundancy to provide 100% HEPA filtered outside air.
The Life Science Center will house regenerative medicine, advanced therapy and other life science companies. Over 135,000 sf of cGMP labs, state of the art infrastructure, co-labs, office and conference space, with attendant retail is designed to stimulate all facets of biotechnology research & development, manufacturing, and joint ventures.

GlaxoSmithKline
The new 148,000 SF building consists of three floors designed for a maximum occupancy of 200 people, and linked to other laboratory buildings on the site by a pedestrian bridge. The design philosophy focuses on the creation of large, open robotics halls based on a standard modular design. Service distribution for the scientific equipment will be run overhead, providing drop-down umbilical connections to the equipment. This approach allows for maximum adaptability to change the equipment layout and ensures flexible and speedy introduction of new technology, avoiding current cost and time obstacles.
An additional project for GlaxoSmithKline is the Flexilab concept in the United Kingdom, pioneered by AMEC, and GSK, is a response to the need to change laboratory configurations to satisfy different and increasingly automated research techniques.

GlaxoSmithKline
The Flexilab concept, pioneered by AMEC, and GSK, is a response to the need to change laboratory configurations to satisfy different and increasingly automated research techniques. The concept is not fixed and will constantly evolve to better respond to the changing nature of scientific research. It creates a research laboratory facility that is truly general purpose, that can meet today’s science need, and in the future, can be used for the great majority of anticipated science applications.

CLIENT Eli Lilly
Hillier was appointed by Eli Lilly in September 2001 to design the first phase of the company’s expansion to their UK research campus. This represented a strategic development for the Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical company aimed at strengthening its research capability in the UK and Europe. Sited in a mature parkland setting, the project involved the extension of on–site research facilities; the rationalising of infrastructure, materials handling, site circulation and car parking; and major redevelopment of the site’s landscaping. The new laboratories, predominantly arranged in two levels, are designed to reflect and re-interpret the calm orderliness of the existing 1960’s research accommodation.

Dow Corning / Rohm and Haas
The Dow Corning China Research and Development Center in Shanghai is located in the rapidly developing Pudong District, home to many multi national companies’ regional headquarters. The design utilizes textures and materials to communicate the technology-driven momentum of the facility while the solid form conveys the venerability, stability and staying power of the brand.
The primary building concept was to combine all departments of research in one structure. The entire structure is ordered around a “C”-shaped courtyard. With its textured glass facades and landscaped gardens, the new Center would appear more of a museum than the high-tech laboratory facility that it is.

Some of the highlights include: high energy performance windows reducing the need for artificial light; HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning) and lighting systems designed to maximize their energy performance; water-conserving plumbing fixtures serving to reduce the building’s overall water use and low emitting materials (adhesives, paint, carpet, coating. Conference rooms feature high-end technology and the building has a concierge service and an on-site cafe. L’Oreal USA’s efforts toward environmental responsibility are in line with those of the L’Oreal Group, which is committed to reducing its environmental impact and aims for greater eco-efficiency where possible.
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 windpowered 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
Being in a controlled setting, the researchers are able to control everything that is happening and can minimize any outside influences.
We create spaces that incorporate the best-in-class workplace strategies —ones that improve collaboration, increase productivity, promote wellness, and allow opportunities for quiet thought.
These vital spaces foster a variety of cultural, recreational, and social activities, engage the community, and integrate flexibility to allow for varied use to serve researchers, scientists, students, and guests.
“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.”
