Text description provided by the architects. As the first new building on the new North Campus science precinct, the Science Research Building provides high technology science research space dedicated to cancer research, regenerative medicine and chemical biology. Two large open lab suites face the river, and are bisected by a three story atrium. Office suites, connected on three levels with a communicating stair, bookend the plan. These three seams of vertical communities within the linear plan enhance collaboration and provide a sense of place for the scientists.
