PS&S provided their laboratory architects and interior design groups for the full alteration of 13,000 sf. The laboratories were designed for enhanced process flow, collaborative shared specialty equipment labs, shared fume hoods or vented balance enclosures and shared but segregated freezer farm cold storage. The laboratories were flexible, based on long linear open benches with a multitude of power, data and specialty services, While the office area provided collaborative touch down spaces, teaming rooms, conference rooms, an open break area and a few quite rooms. The furniture and finishes within the spaces were to be fresh, cheerful, bright and provide a mixture of experiences, both collaborative and private.
