The 355,000-square-foot project includes five linked buildings around a one-acre hexagonal courtyard designed with the Office of Dan Kiley to provide a green oasis for quiet contemplation and outdoor activities. Visitors enter through the Administration Building, where community outreach programs and a 230-seat auditorium are located off a large skylit exhibition space. Laboratory modules are similarly organized around central atria, each designed to promote a sense of identity and community while animating the interior with natural light.
