DEFINING AN INDUSTRY
Amount of space, in millions of square feet, HOK has programmed, planned and designed in the past 10 years
We’ve been planning and designing places for people in research organizations since 1968, when we began work on Bristol-Myers Squibb’s landmark campus in New Jersey. No matter the size, culture, and space requirements, companies share a need for thoughtfully designed research environments that are scalable and flexible to accommodate changes in the way they do business. This type of planning is what HOK does best.

BIOGEN IDEC R E S E A R C H A N D C O R P O R AT E C A M P U S San Diego, California
HOK’s challenge was to create a wholly new kind of research community, one that would sustain innovation and exploration while eschewing conventional thinking. Integral to the design was the concept of the “work-home” environment; essential to creating an atmosphere to sustain the core company values of innovation and commitment to the community.

WRIGLEY G L O B A L I N N O V AT I O N C E N T E R Chicago, Illinois
The goal of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company was to create a Global Innovation Center for new product research and development and quality assurance. The main concept of the building was to create a winter garden that creates a year-round temperate space for everyone to meet, dine and enjoy the garden. The Global Innovation Center has also helped catalyze better land use along the Chicago river.

DIST. OF COLUMBIA C O N S O L I D AT E D F O R E N S I C L A B O R AT O R Y Washington, DC
The Consolidated Forensic Laboratory combines the District’s public safety forensic science and public health efforts into one state-of-the-art building. The lab allows the city to coordinate crime, public safety and health investigations to help law enforcement officials solve crimes quickly and efficiently. The building represents a coming of age for forensic science as it evolves from basic police work into an independent science requiring intense scrutiny and rigor.

NOA A RESEARCH CENTER Riverdale Park, Maryland
To support the organization’s mission of understanding and predicting changes in the earth’s environment, the design reduces the Center’s impact on the environment and physically embodies man’s relationship to nature. Just as natural systems do not operate in straight lines, the building is configured in a series of curving wings that intersect in a central atrium. The building form is organic, with “waves” of space.

CARLETON UNIV. S T E A C I E L A B O R AT O R Y B U I L D I N G Ottawa, Canada
The design challenge was to adapt and reuse an existing facility that had not been significantly updated since its original construction in 1964 – and to do it in time for the upcoming academic year. In the first year after the SuperLab opened, the chemistry department’s enrollment increased by 10 percent. The project was delivered on time and 20 percent under budget.

UNIV. OF ALBERTA C L I N I C H E A LT H A C A D E M Y Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
The goal for this project was to design a new kind of environment for researching, teaching and delivering healthcare. The project brought 12 health science departments and schools from six faculties into a single environment. One of the design challenges was to create an interactive learning environment in a building that runs the length of two football fields. The color-coded floors and clear organization help users navigate the space.

UNIV. OF CHICAGO WILLIAM ECKHARDT RESEARCH CENTER Chicago, Illinois
The new research center will bring together diverse programs into a single setting to develop a new type of collaborative environment. As the University of Chicago is among the world leaders in Nobel-prize winning research for physical sciences, the facility will help the University maintain its leading position in those areas, so HOK planned to have empty shell space to allow for future researchers to program for their needs.
