"Scientists represent something very special to me. I love their ability to soar with their thinking, to speculate, to push into the unknown. I try to emulate those feelings in my work."
Frank Gehry

 The open design of the laboratory space allows for flexibility and sharing of core services, and fosters opportunities for collaboration and the creative exchange of ideas among researchers.
A walkable area or interstitial space rests between each lab floor and contains the building's electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems. This permits easy reconfiguration of labs for the changing needs of individual researchers at minimal cost and disruption of work. Earl L. Walls, nationally recognized laboratory designer, developed this innovative and effective space.
