Our Lafayette College Integrated Science Center was featured in the school’s Lafayette Newspaper announcing the groundbreaking ceremony for the 102,000 SF building will be held May 2017.
The ISC will include biology, computer science, environmental science, expansion space for neuroscience and the IDEAL program, an entrepreneurship program connecting engineering and the liberal arts to solve real-world problems. The new five-floor building, with a new open-air courtyard, will hold several laboratories and classrooms for the students of Lafayette College.
As highlighted in the article, our team is aiming to achieve LEED Gold certification at a minimum exploring an array of energy saving innovations including filtered fume hoods, air quality monitoring, enthalpy wheels, fan coil units, LED lighting, among others.
Learn more about the project in the Lafayette Newspaper article.
Sandrine Héroux, Sophie McKenzie, and Emily Chowdhury are each members of our in-house Fabrication team. Their day-to-day work centers on a simple question: what changes when design becomes something people can physically test?
These women challenge the notion of fabrication as a support service, framing it instead as an essential component of architectural authorship, a way to test ideas, share agency, and widen the boundaries of what architectural practice can include.
In our most recent blog, they discuss their individual paths in architecture and reflect on their experience using fabrication as a tool for fostering shared agency, community engagement and broadening the role of the architect. Link in bio!
