Science
Discoveries advance at a rapid pace. We believe the spaces where research happens should be as forward-thinking as the science itself. "Accelerate Discovery” is a design strategy – guided by the needs of researchers and the infrastructure requirements of offices, dry and wet labs – to optimize science buildings to encourage research breakthroughs.
Well-designed science buildings that prioritize the well-being of researchers have a critical impact across life science tenants’ operations. Meantime, implementing design ideas that draw talent, foster collaboration, balance privacy and transparency, plan for future flexibility and engage the community allow forward-thinking research environments to build on their mission and promote healthier, more sustainable work.
Design Perspectives for Science
Innovation is linked to collaboration, a by-product of organizational culture and considered, strategic design choices. At life science company Abcam’s headquarters, 450 staff are connected through collaborative hub that both supports employee well-being and drives efficiencies that advance scientific research. To support current needs and future growth, the building also features fully flexible lab configurations and new technology for enhanced capabilities.

Featured Project
Located at the heart of the University of Manchester’s engineering campus, the Royce Institute engages scientists, industry and the public to illustrate the institute’s mission and provide a flexible environment for world-class research. The design showcases the science happening within, with laboratories revealing their complex workings to those on the outside.
