The planning effort has established a recommended physical planning
concept for the Institute. This concept recognizes that there are different
needs for the various types of spaces associated with the program, including
location of program elements. Some program elements and their location
include:
Floor Program
2nd Floor (at grade level)
Mechanical room, building
support & loading docks
3rd Floor (Walkway level)
Institute Administration Library,
Gallery, Lobby & Core Labs
4th Floor
Generic Open Labs, Offices,
Support & Interaction Areas
5th Floor
Generic Open
Labs, Offices, Support & Interaction Areas
6th Floor
Generic Open Labs,
Offices, Support & Interaction Areas
Penthouse
Mechanical, Electrical
& Exhaust Equipment
The total laboratory program is 102 single laboratory modules and 57
Principal Investigator's/support offices. Total Building Population is
expected to be 325 -375 people.
