Scope: Renovation; new Bioinstrumentation/Bioprocessing Lab, Biomechanics Lab and multi-purpose shared teaching lab within the Engineering Lab Building
Challenge: Accommodates flexibility for both program and an anticipated future large-scale building master plan; facilitates traditional group instruction as well as lab experiments by large and small teams; utilizes an ideal laboratory module fit within the existing enclosed footprint and space constraints
Unique: Provides a new identity for UMD’s Bioengineering program; bold design
Results: Open and engaging “on-display” laboratory environment with high visibility into labs; supports leading teaching technologies and encourages peer-to-peer engagement
