The University of Texas at Austin Gary L. Thomas Energy Engineering Building

Located on the northwest side of the UT Austin Campus, the Gary L. Thomas Energy Engineering Building (GLT) helps the Cockrell School of Engineering establish a new multidisciplinary approach to the energy sciences. Together with the Engineering Education and Research Center (EERC), the GLT activates the edge of campus and creates a true hub and […]

Briger Hall, Commons, and Sarofim Pavilion at Princeton University

The project moves the departments of Environmental Studies (ES) and School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) out of their historic, outdated facilities and co-locates them in state-of-the-art buildings where they can conduct ground-breaking research. The new buildings are stitched into the existing campus circulation network to promote connectivity and collaboration with other departments across […]

Purdue University, Chaney-Hale Hall of Science

Sited in the heart of Purdue University’s campus, the Chaney-Hale Hall of Science houses 33 teaching labs for biology, general chemistry, biochemistry, organic chemistry, and chemical engineering. The challenging central campus location is situated at the collision of two busy campus grids. Transparent east and west facades serve as beacons, sponsoring entry points that receive […]

Cambridge Crossing: 441 Morgan Avenue

The building sits at a major entry to the Cambridge Crossing neighborhood. It welcomes visitors arriving from the east, via or under the Gilmore Bridge, forms a vital framing element to the Common at CX­—and integrates the Crossing into the Cambridge skyline. The 12-story building includes ten tenant floors, topped by two floors of mechanical […]

Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact at University of Oregon

https://player.vimeo.com/video/569420874?autoplay=0&loop=0&byline=0&title=0&portrait=0 We set out to design a campus around the very interdisciplinary ideals that have helped drive the University of Oregon’s success. This design beautifully illustrates that identity by not only reflecting the university’s past, but by illuminating a future of inspiring science. Todd Schliemann, Design Partner The design features two L-shaped towers that face […]

Stanford University Sarafan ChEM-H (Chemistry, Engineering & Medicine for Human Health) and the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute

Designed to innovatively co-locate two emerging research institutes – Stanford Neurosciences Institute and Stanford Chemistry, Engineering Medicine and Human Health (ChEM-H), the building houses leading and rising scientific minds investigating fundamental problems in neuroscience, chemistry, engineering, and medicine. https://player.vimeo.com/video/728139233?autoplay=0&loop=0&byline=0&title=0&portrait=0 The building’s massing and activated ground floor plan take advantage of its pivotal location on campus […]

The University of Texas at Austin Cockrell School of Engineering, Engineering Education and Research Center

https://player.vimeo.com/video/254040310?autoplay=0&loop=0&byline=0&title=0&portrait=0 The breadth of Engineering education has seen a massive explosion of diversity and increasing potential for real life applications. The EERC is designed to not only meet these and future challenges through architecture but to do so with the recognition that both students and faculty are part of one communal collaborative effort to find […]

Purdue University, Flex Lab Facility

A super-flexible lab layout defined by re-combinable bench space and support labs, high-bay research space, low vibration basement labs for optics, and a complementary landscape of hoteling offices, open work areas, hot desk space and “work cafes” addresses the constant evolution of the engineering disciplines. Lab and work areas are visually connected by uninterrupted floor-to-ceiling […]

The Ohio State University, Peter L. and Clara M. Scott Laboratory

Generic materials are combined to evoke a minimal and industrial aesthetic expressive of engineering. Todd Schliemann, Design Partner Three interconnected structures enclose a courtyard on three sides. A dedicated laboratory facility is designed for maximum flexibility; the structural module allows modifications to individual labs as needs change. Large “multi-purpose” spaces with moveable partitions permit a […]
