Ennead Partner Stephen Chu joined Stanford University Director of Architecture Zachary Pozner at Trademark's University Science & Engineering Facilities Conference. They lead a plenary session on Stanford University's Sarafan ChEM-H (Chemistry, Engineering & Medicine for Human Health) and Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute buildings.
The 2023 SEFA Lab of the Year award-winning research complex combines Chemistry, Engineering Medicine, and Human Health (CHEM-H) with the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institutes to deliver groundbreaking research, improve human health and eradicate disease. Zach Pozner and Stephen Chu provided rationales for key departures from conventional lab planning, highlighted innovative features of the light-filled lab “neighborhoods” and “living rooms”, detailed flexibility and reconfigurability features of laboratories, set out new lab/office/support metrics, and illustrate how a shared-resource space plan supports the convergence of disciplines among 40 principal investigators.
