Corporate Research: Inspiring Scientific Discovery

Every program is unique, and we design solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Entrepreneurship & Innovation
Incubators, accelerators, and innovation districts are designed to ignite collaboration among innovators and entrepreneurs in life sciences, tech, advanced manufacturing, and engineering fields. Startups and pre-revenue ventures are immersed in a culture of support and speed-to-market acceleration.

Translational Research
Focusing on translating discoveries into readily available medical solutions requires world-class researchers as well as facilities. Spanning the entire medical spectrum, facilities enable collaboration and a fluid exchange of information across discovery, clinical development, and practice.

Diagnostics
Clinical laboratories have an immediate impact on the health and safety of patients. The importance of designing labs that optimize testing capacities, speed, and accuracy cannot be understated. Lean laboratory planning, Six Sigma process tools, in-depth knowledge of equipment, and experience with Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) are essential to achieving optimal lab design.

Plant Science
As the world population continues to increase, plant science will play an essential role in maintaining the world’s food supply and improving the environment through plant-based alternatives to fuels, proteins, and cleaning products.

Biotechnology
Through advancements in areas such as mRNA and cell and gene therapy, start-up companies continue to emerge from academic and medical research settings while established pharmaceutical companies prepare to develop and manufacture new and evolving drug modalities. Multi-modal facilities that are agile and adaptable to these evolving modalities are key in meeting demands and speed to market expectations.

Animal Health
Rapid technological advances in animal health match the rise in companion animal ownership and the growth of the livestock industry. These advances are led by medicinal feed additives, preventative pharmaceuticals and biologics, food safety, and advanced care for pets.

Pharmaceutical Discovery
Research in chemistry and biochemistry requires a level of flexibility that keeps pace with the rapid advancement of discovery. “Plug and play” has moved beyond the bench to include mobile fume hoods and entirely convertible laboratories. Workplace design principles such as biophilia and daylight are critical to recruitment and retention.

Robotics
These centers and institutes explore the next generation of robotics by bringing together researchers from industry, government, and academia to collaborate around emerging fields. New paradigms are emerging which align design, machine learning, materials, software, cognitive science, and security to serve society. Strategic partnerships are critical to accelerating innovations from research labs to the real world.

Medical Device
Advancements in technology, such as robotics, 3D printing, and smart devices, are driving the development of new medical devices and revolutionizing the way these products are made. Planning for new facilities or adapting existing facilities to accommodate these new products and manufacturing processes is a critical step in optimizing speed to market and establishing or maintaining a competitive advantage.
