First floor: University Heights Science Park administration

Second and third floors: Generic laboratory spaces for research of biomaterials and medical devices

Designed for future two story vertical expansion

Challenges
As the corner building of the $200 million science park, the building serves as both an anchor and a threshold to the campus

The opaque walls emphasize the building’s biomaterial lab function, while the glass stair tower opens up the building’s corner to three major streets and at night becomes a beacon of light to the campus
