Partially underground, this floor contains a walk-out basement and has been designed for future laboratory support space.

The main level is designed with large open maker/research spaces and wetlabs on either side of a new corridor and an industrial inspired central stair.

The second floor is also designed with maker/research spaces wetlabs and classrooms and expands on the collaboration space around the central stair.

The third floor plan uses each end of the building for the new high efficiency mechanical systems while opening up the center area for graduate offices, study and collaboration space.

This view of the building from the southwest shows the building as part of a larger campus quad and expresses the large industrial windows facing into the research/maker spaces.

This view from the northwest highlights the 1928 historic façade, it’s relation to historic Magnolia Avenue and indicates the large punched window openings which define the rhythm of the wet labs.

This photo is a research/maker space on the south side of the building, showing the connecting doors allowing researchers to expand their labs on demand.

This photo is a research/maker space on the south side of the building, showing the connecting doors and the open grid above connecting walls creating an open feeling to the spaces.

This is a photo of a wet lab on the north side of the building showing excellent north lighting and a hood to the right.

This photo shows great lighting and views for the graduate student cubicles, work and study spaces.

This photo shows great lighting and views at the center of the building for the graduate student study and collaboration space.

This photo shows the main entrance into the space with views across the exterior campus quad to the Engineering Achievement Center.

This photo shows the new central stair, designed with an industrial look, using recovered wood for the treads.

This is a view of the collaboration and event space on the second floor looking across the new stair, looking south across the campus quad.

This photo highlights the new stair, new elevator and also the existing steel and pipe column structure and heavy-duty existing wood floor above.

This photo shows how the new industrial inspired stair connects all floors creating collaborative opportunities between the levels.
