relevance to our times and is characterized by its sensi-

tive and resonant responses to local traditions, land-

scape and context as well as by its innovative aesthetic

and leading edge technology.

SELECTED LABORATORIES depicts our investigation

and interest in creating laboratory environments while

pushing technology to its limits. We strive to create ar-

chitecture that participates in all aspects of local con-

text and culture, as well as in the unfolding future that

recognizes architecture in its unparalleled and timely

significance.

Since its birth, now more than thirty years ago, The

The VA Puget Sound Mental Health & Research project

is composed of four distinct projects that are linked to

Mental Health treatment and research. The projects

includes a $27.7M Seismic upgrade with careful phas-

ing of interior renovation work to existing departments.

A new $105M Mental Health Services and Research

Building (200,000gsf) and a new $36.8M Parking

Structure (1,000 stalls). The projects require extensive

coordination with VA personnel and considerable un-

derstanding of the constraints of the existing campus

facilities, utilities and operations. The Design Partner-

ship is Associate Architect on this project.

The VA Palo Alto Ambulatory Care Center will provide

a broad range of outpatient services to veterans in-

cluding primary care, specialty care, The Regional Am-

putee Center, Dentistry, Eye Care, Audiology, Women’s

Clinic, Education and Conference. The building works

together with Building 7 to create a front door to cam-

pus services on the south side of the hospital. The De-

sign Partnership is Associate Architect on this project.

The VA Palo Alto Research Laboratory The new re-

search animal care vivarium occupies approximately

35,000 gross square feet, provides expanded re-

search animal resources, and replaces the Building

54 Vivarium- an outmoded, noncompliant, temporary

facility. The biomedical research laboratory compo-

nent accommodates current underserved research staff

and provides additional resources for projected new

research staff. This new facility is co-located with the

vivarium to support researchers who use animal mod-

els, reducing and possibly eliminating animal transport

across the campus. This component occupies approxi-

mately 50,000 gross square feet and replaces sub-

standard labs in a building slated for demolition, and

resources to support new research programs. The De-

sign Partnership as Associate Architect on this project.

The UCSF Bioengineering & Tissue Research Center

houses a cross-disciplinary laboratory that examines

the engineering, growth and transplant of new tis-

sues. The laboratory also includes within it an atomic

force microscope, a tissue culture room, and a state-

of-the-art microsurgery. Because of the rapidly evolv-

ing nature of this field of research, the laboratory is

designed to be exceptionally flexible and adaptable

to future changes.

The UCSF Department of Pathology’s design utilized

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) to complete this re-

model on the 4th floor of UCSF’s Health Sciences West

Building. The new state-of-the-art laboratory accom-

modates five Principal Researchers and their 55-per-

son cancer research team in a streamlined light-filled

space, designed with contemporary colors and sleek

detailing. The use of building information modeling

(BIM) and IPD allowed for the project to be bid under

budget, and be completed ahead of schedule.

The UCSF Human Genetics Dry Laboratory’s remodel

project on the ninth floor of the UCSF Medical Sciences

Building involved the modification of existing wet labo-

ratory space into dry labs, offices for research faculty,

associates, and open office cubicles for residents, stu-

dents and administrative staff. The project also includ-

ed upgrades to the building systems, and the rating of

an adjacent corridor.

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory projects

update laboratory and office spaces to meet contem-

porary standards of service, comfort, accessibility,

energy conservation and safety. The Design Partner-

ship has worked on several projects with the Lawrence

Berkeley Laboratory Projects including: 1. Building 62

The UC Merced Castle Facilities Laboratory improve-

ment project involved consists of full interior demolition

and upgrade to contemporary wet lab bench and sup-

port space, and adaptation of additional space for

day to day lab use. Built in 1989, these structures were

originally used as a warehouse, office and workshop

space. The labs accommodate initial faculty in all sci-

ence disciplines while the campus is under construction,

and will continue to be used by incoming faculty as

specialty lab space as needed on a long-term basis.

The Genentech Bio Laboratory Facility remodel turned

an existing two-story warehouse into their new corpo-

rate headquarters facility and a biotech laboratory

with support services. The design included an interior

two-story “mainstreet” which created a separation

zone between the new laboratory and the existing ad-

ministration department. A new entry lobby and con-

ference center were also added to the existing facility,

while maintaining the ongoing operations of adminis-

tration during the construction process. The use of glass

creates a feeling of transparency on the new addition,

and is a wonderful contrast to the existing warehouse

context. Dennis Sullivan designed this project prior to

joining The Design Partnership.

The UCSF Connie Frank Transplant Center’s design rec-

ognizes the ‘gift of life” and the incredible act of gen-

erosity when one donates their sacred organ to a loved

one. The Center is located on the 7th Floor of a 1960’s

Building that incorporates extraordinary views of the

Golden Gate Bridge and Downtown San Francisco.

The Center was conceived to provide comprehensive

patient services for kidney transplant in a calm and

graceful environment.
