designing buildings for scientific discovery What is science without discovery? In such a competitive market, success is predominantly measured by papers and citations; so optimal efficiency is critical in the design and management of research facilities. But for research to thrive, the facilities of tomorrow must transcend functional efficiency, providing welcoming and stimulating places to work and learn which will stand the test of time through their flexibility and durability. Our vision is to create environments that can aid discovery by encouraging collaboration and excellence among staff.
inspirational spaces The facilities of a research institution reflect its reputation. To attract high calibre professionals and to retain existing staff, providing the right facilities in the most appropriate environment can make a real difference. By listening to the needs of scientists and researchers, IBI designers know exactly what makes a good laboratory and have the expertise to deliver buildings that are expressly tailored to end users. Capitalising on productivity is bottom line, but investing in the research environment will widen possibilities for interaction and inspire prospective new talent.
flexible spaces Flexibility to accommodate change is a key objective of any research facility. At IBI, we believe that flexibility covers three important requirements; adaptability, convertibility and expandability. Our buildings facilitate adaptation to operational change, are capable of being converted to accommodate different functions, and can be expanded in the future.
research-led design Decision-making in the early stages of a project can fundamentally impact a completed facility, particularly in buildings that must cope with the changing demands of science. Producing accurate, consistent and comparative information about the building type is invaluable, allowing stakeholders to make informed decisions from the outset. Our work is underpinned by research-led design through the work of IBI THiNK. We work with industry partners, research institutions and end users to highlight the important link between research and practice. Through gathered evidence and experience, we test design solutions and theories to improve the quality, efficiency and sustainability of our buildings 6
The IBI Advantage - A Global Science Design Studio Our Global Science Design Studio is one of IBI’s Centres of Excellence, dedicated to the craft of science facility design. The studio delivers specialist science and research environments across the globe, meeting the needs and aspirations of stakeholders and investors; particularly those looking to implement a worldclass perspective, and develop facilities at the forefront of global development. Our core team brings together some of the best science designers in the business. With experts working in collaboration across North America and Europe, we pursue best practice and innovation in every building we design. As a leading centre for science and research, our vision is to support our clients and our staff by sharing knowledge, producing guidance and establishing strategic partnerships to advance the design of facilities, safeguarding them for the future.

bc cancer research centre vancouver, british columbia, canada The project consists of a new, state-of-the-art scientific research facility that accommodates 600 researchers seeking a cure for cancer. The gross building area for the project is 24,455 m2. The 14-storey building includes: modular laboratory space and office spaces linked by a glass-enclosed staircase; a 220-seat lecture theatre; a library resource centre – which is used by researchers, clinicians and cancer patients; one of the largest vivariums in Canada; and specialised support infrastructure located on a tight urban site. The distinctive building is highly visible from West Broadway, a major east-west corridor in the city, and serves as a constant reminder to Vancouver residents of the important work being done there. The north and south façades use distinctive petri-dish shaped windows, 15 feet in diameter, denoting individual lab units. The Heather Street façade pattern pays homage to the late UBC chemist Michael Smith, a Nobel-prize winning researcher, by replicating DNA sequencing with blue, grey and green glass panels.

This purpose-built laboratory was built to respond to the restructuring of the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), providing greater space to meet their strategic requirements. The scheme is an extension of the National Environment Research Council’s (NERC) existing research centre. The appropriate massing of the building relates the new facility to the research site and the partial cladding of the facade in western red complements its surroundings. Highly flexible in design, the two-storey laboratory provides CEH with a high quality environment that supports their science operations, including specialist spaces for soil processing and molecular biology. The new laboratory building is highly sustainable limiting the amount of energy use and maintenance. A BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating was achieved.

An atrium at the centre of the building links all facilities and is flooded with daylight from the planar glazing roof. Axially planned, the atrium is easy to understand and designed to incorporate differing forms, galleries and bridges providing inherent legibility and interest. This space acts not only as necessary circulation, but also becomes the interactive social heart to the facility which encourages medical students to meet informally and share knowledge and experience. A pilot scheme for the NHS Procure21 framework, the building was designed to meet the ever-changing needs of clinical education, with an emphasis on flexibility of use and expansion over time. The project finished on programme and below budget.

Among the first buildings constructed during an extensive redevelopment and expansion of the York campus, the Chemistry building was located at the high-profile juncture of two of the campus Walks. Considerable attention was paid to the design of every elevation, as well as the rooftop, which was overlooked by surrounding high-rises. The landscaping of the quadrangle was designed as a continuation of the internal design and was a conceptual extension of the artwork which was integrated into the flooring and structure. The building contains departmental administration, chemistry teaching and research labs, computer labs and lecture facilities. The project was one of 18 labs selected from an international field of over 200 entries and was the only Canadian laboratory building selected by Progressive Architecture magazine for a prestigious Laboratory Design Award in 1996.

Our commitment to innovation and research in every field of building design led us to develop a solution for the main laboratory bench at Oxford Molecular Pathology Institute (OMPI), which fits the user’s requirements in a bespoke, affordable and robust way. By evaluating the standard components in lab furniture construction and reconfiguring them in such a way that responded directly to the client brief, we were able to provide a combined lab bench, storage and write up unit that seamlessly integrated power and data requirements whilst providing an ergonomic, easy to use work station. Serviced from the ceiling void to ensure maximum flexibility, the bench uses coloured glass panels at the back of the upper bench storage compartments to help identify each floor. The design was tested vigorously through a ‘mock up’ process that enabled users to experiment with equipment storage and bench space provisions, whilst assessing the build quality offer by four potential suppliers.
