PROJECT OVERVIEW WATER EFFICIENCY SUSTAINABLE SITES
ENERGY & ATMOSPHERE
The $165 million, 310,000 S.F. Life Science Laboratories (LSL) facility provides state-of-the-art laboratory space for interdisciplinary research clusters engaged in cutting edge studies. Laboratory support platforms adjoin offices and labs to foster a highly collaborative environment, and promote the exchange of ideas between students and faculty from several different fields including: biochemistry, food science, mathematics, microbiology, physics, and environmental conservation. The LSL facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration and applied research to help shorten the gap between scientific innovation and technological advancement. The building anticipates future change and growth in the field of science through flexible and adaptable laboratory spaces that can be reconfigured multiple times over the life of the building. The project is Certified LEED Gold.
Achieved a 49% reduction in
potable water use via the installation of ultra low-flow plumbing fixtures
Rain garden with water storage. Awarded an Excellence in Landscape Architecture for General Design Honor by The Society of College and University Planning (SCUP)
Site location enhances the open space and landscape of the east campus
Green infrastructure improves the quality of stormwater runoff from site
Native and adaptive plant species selected for drought resistance
Easily accessible to the PVTA bus system and core campus community services
Onsite bike storage with dedicated parking for low-efficient and fuel-efficient vehicles
91% of site, and 87% of roof utilize
reflective materials to mitigate the heat island effect
Cut overall energy use by 30%
through daylight shelves, demand-controlled heat recovery ventilation, low flow fume hoods, and exterior façade optimization with glazing and shading
