Awarded:
- Brick Industry Southeast, Honor Award, 2013
- AIA Columbia, Merit Award, 2012
The 125,000, five-story structure houses research laboratories and offices for researchers from various academic disciplines who focus on “Next Energy” research. The programming efforts by WTSL, SSOE, and SST Planners created a document that was the starting point for the design of the new facility. After analyzing the space and utility needs of the potential building research tenants, SST Planners has been able to develop seven laboratory types that can serve all of the buildings’ diverse users.
