INNOVATING TOGETHER

At HOK, we view Commercial Life Sciences projects as exciting new ventures – not only as mixed-use developments, but as chances to innovate together and create dynamic new communities for the commercialization of new technologies and medical discoveries.

HOK has designed and built some of the most recent and successful innovation communities around the world, including the Cortex Innovation District in St. Louis with multiple ground-up spec lab buildings, and the Lincoln Centre campus for BioMed Realty in Foster City, California.Each of these engagements represent complex urbanistic projects designed to synergize multiple stakeholders, organizations and industry partners around science and innovation. Multi-tenant lab buildings require an in-depth understanding of the right amount of investment needed to attract the broadest range of potential tenants, flexible lab planning modules for future tenant planning and the right mix of amenities to support collaboration and build scientific community at all levels.
