The new home for the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation supports groundbreaking discoveries in a hub for research, innovation and collaboration to solve some of the world’s biggest health problems. Located in a former warehouse-turned-office-building, the adaptive reuse of the existing 1980s building posed many structural, code and performance issues. On-site vibration analysis and testing of the existing building was conducted to determine the performance of the Type V structure and allowed our team to incorporate the correct structural solution that supported the research in the building.
The project includes open research laboratories, tissue culture rooms, flexible workstations, an expansive staff breakroom, conference rooms, and a flexible-use forum for all-hands meetings, presentations and community events. Surrounding the forum, biomedical research labs are encased in floor-to-ceiling glass to maximize views of the researchers at work and borrow natural light. 116 mobile benches and a flexible, shelled space behind the atrium address future capacity and evolving needs. The transformative adaptive reuse allows the Terasaki Institute to accelerate its research in micro- and nano-technologies with applications in diagnostics, therapeutic drug delivery and regenerative medicine.
