Genetics Laboratory

This existing concrete animal holding facility was adapted into a state-of-the-art research laboratory for a group of elite scientist dedicated to the study of molecular genetics. The facility design brings a sense of outside into the work spaces. The efficient layout with common work resources and building services within a central core allows the lab users to maximize use of the space and has proven to be a real asset to the research team.
