This building accommodates flexible laboratory space, shared scientific core facilities, high-bay makerspace containing high-tech equipment, including 3-D printers and other prototyping technology, and a conferencing center for students, faculty, and research partners across campus. It is also the home of the university’s Biopharmaceutical Analysis Training Laboratory, which offers training and experiential learning on the intricacies of regulatory considerations for pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and other related health products.
A roof-level observation terrace allows monitoring of activities in the adjacent Unmanned Aircraft Systems (drone) Testing Facility, which is designed for engineering, prototyping, and fabrication of a range of autonomous systems including aerial drones, underwater UAVs, and autonomous land vehicles. Unique facilities include an outdoor UAS testing facility with RFI attenuation, a high bay fabrication and precision prototyping facility, and shell space for vibration sensitive research instruments. Our integrated A/E design optimizes building efficiency by providing more net assignable space while reducing gross building area. A unitized curtain wall system, prefabricated duct and piping assemblies, and pre-assembled head-end MEP equipment were installed and offer innovative, energy-saving systems to save on first costs while reducing operating costs over the life of the building.
This 1,800-acre, largely undeveloped site was transformed into a new high-tech, multi-institutional teaching, research, testing and workforce development campus. This transformation enhances and expands the University’s ability to provide opportunities for education and training, expand teaching and research capabilities and foster industry partnerships. The master plan sets forth a strategic vision, framework, and design guidance for the campus’s development over the next 20+ years. The planning process included extensive collaboration with multiple committees and stakeholders that helped identify unique opportunities to create a new transitional paradigm for the campus. Immediate infrastructure recommendations frame long-term development goals to support future teaching and research facilities, training facilities and testing grounds and a mixture of student housing types. The connected, open space network further supports interaction between students, faculty, staff and visitors by encouraging social activation. Upon completing the master plan, Page led the development of a campus-wide infrastructure plan and designed the first of three academic buildings in the development of Phase 1.
Pushing the limits of what’s possible, the team designed a building that defies gravity — floating a solid box of flexible research space above two glass levels of student innovation and collaboration spaces.
Dubbed the IDEA Factory, the street level invites onlookers to peer inside and see the energy of entrepreneurship at the heart of the Clark School’s reputation. You’ll find undergraduates sharing tools in the Rapid Prototyping Lab, preparing for design competitions in the “ALEx Garage” innovation workspace, or working on next generation apps in the Startup Shell, an incubator for student-run startups. The Shell already has generated over 60 ventures, valuing $20M, and growing.
Then the second floor, sheathed in glass, encourages students, faculty and staff to grab a bite of the best food on campus while exchanging thoughts in collaboration areas and conference rooms. Great ideas often emerge after faculty lunch-time presentations and create buzz in this social hub for the engineering school. Floating above these inviting spaces, the box of research labs allows walls to be reconfigured in a snap, providing the University unprecedented ease in adapting to research demands. Home to the Alfred Gessow Rotorcraft Center, drones zoom by, and students explore bio mimicry in the Robotics Realization Lab. Tucked away below ground is the Quantum Technology Center, hosting sensitive equipment harnessing the power of the very small.
Combined, the IDEA Factory is a place of curiosity, energy and exploration, educating 21st-century engineering leaders.
Dedicated to creating the next generation of Northern Virginia’s technology workforce, Fuse at Mason Square will house graduatelevel education and interdisciplinary research in a broad range of programs, including computing, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and cyber security, among others.
Transparency, openness, and connectivity drove the development of the proposed design intended to physically and visually welcome students, educators, entrepreneurs, industry partners, and the community.
Conceived as a series of vertical neighborhoods stacked throughout the structure, Fuse’s design creates a “Main Street” or collaboration spine on each floor with a wide pathway that encourages spontaneous connections between Mason and industry partners. Cross-pollination zones also support a mixing-bowl approach to programming — intentionally interweaving Mason’s programs with partners’ spaces on every floor — encouraging connection and teamwork.
Each floor offers a loft-lab or deep lab block with column-free structural bays that meet educational and workplace needs by accommodating large classrooms and open and private offices. And a Specialty Lab core — located on multiple floors — offers a centralized resource of advanced research spaces. Creating a marquee environment for Mason and industry partners, Fuse boasts open spaces filled with daylight and access to outdoor areas at multiple levels. From the inside out and outside in, you’ll discover dynamic learning, research, and innovation space, bolstering Mason’s efforts to recruit and retain the best and brightest.
