We’re excited to share a bit of information about our project at Boston University, the Center for Integrated Life Sciences and Engineering (CILSE). The new building will bridge disciplines across the sciences with a state-of-the-art nine-story research facility. With lab space for approximately 160 researchers, postdoctoral students and staff as well as 270 graduate students and room for future growth, the underlying goal is to bring the sciences together under one roof. The key word with this project, like many of our projects, is collaboration. As such, the other main key ingredient is flexibility. We are working to create lab spaces large enough for optimum flexibility. Furthermore, to promote serendipitous connections throughout the building, there will be a number of common areas and open, inviting stairways connecting these spaces.
To learn more about the CILSE and the role it will play in Boston University’s science community, visit the University’s in-depth page about the project.
We`re wrapping up World Landscape Architecture Month with a peak into the design of the XiangYa Fifth Hospital at Central South University.
The XiangYa Fifth Hospital will provide a new world class model for the delivery of healthcare in China, accommodating over 100,000 patients a day and housing over 2,500 patient rooms. Nature is further embedded into the superstructure through gardens, courtyards, roof terraces, light monitors and generous windows that provide abundant natural light and frame views of the natural setting surrounding the building.
