Joined by Cannon Design’s George Nikolajevich as lead designer and Tom Harvath as lab planner, the entire project team implemented a number of green design and construction strategies in the $80.5 million biomedical research facility that substantially impact occupant health and environmental performance.

The 10-story, 206,000-sq-ft research building features a contemporary design of steel, brick and glass on the exterior; and modular laboratories, animal vivarium, conference rooms and a Clinical Core Lab facility on the interior. Clayco acted as construction manager on the project and Cannon Design was the architect.
