We know what it means to take pride in your work Skillful, deliberate delivery of high quality design and innovation can help companies flourish in their research spaces, and retain key talent. We've been designing buildings in which the world's most successful companies have called home. ― Science and Technology 5
Our Science andSciencepracticeTechnologyandTechnology
Words we live by are conducting practice-informed research for a practice.research-informedFromdeveloping a tool to help project teams quantify a zoned approach to reducing energy intensity in laboratory buildings, to using a robotic arm to measure ability for precision and automation in construction—we aim to break the mold and provide realworld insights.
The technical demands of today’s science environments require the highest standards of design and expertise. Our active benchmarking tool allows us to not only understand singular building parameters, but also to create custom comparative analysis scenarios, provide the ability to include building performance analysis, and represent the data in easily understood graphic formats.
With 25 studios worldwide, we have an expansive network of people available to you. Our expertise serves clients in nearly every corner of the globe providing a creative knowledge base and industry-specific experience from people who are truly excited about the scope of work. With a staff of leading lab experts and in-house scientists we are able to connect with researchers and they technical users to design facilities that inspire innovation, accelerate discovery, and enhance energy performance.

Evolving Technology Technology and information systems are integral to sophisticated research. A strong technological infrastructure must support computational research, bio-informatics, core laboratories and imaging equipment. Planning must ensure the integration of current and future technologies seamlessly linking the laboratory, the office, the interaction, the academic and the clinical environments.

Our architects, lab planners, and interior designers share knowledge and expertise across the firm so we can create innovative spaces that fit each of our client's unique needs.
Science and ResearchTranslationalTechnology
Building design can be the functional and experiential bridge between scientific and clinical acceleratingcommunities—theevolution of scientific discovery into clinical applications and of clinical observations into further research exploration. The continuum of physician, scientist and patient can be facilitated by strong campus connections, meaningful interaction spaces and places that foster interdisciplinary dialogue.
Flexible Efficiency In order to respond to the remarkable pace of technological, medical and scientific change, research facilities should have extremely flexible physical organization— allowing for future changes in programs, technology, equipment, systems, laboratory configuration, bench arrangement and research teams, as well as allocations of wet and dry research space.
AdaptabilityDynamic A wide range of space planning strategies and room prototypes should be explored to support current and future needs. Fixed walls or furniture should be minimized to allow adaptation for just-in-time response to changing needs. The building structure should be imagined as a “dance floor” or “smart frame” to serve a myriad of needs over the life of the building.

NeighborhoodsResearch Defined neighborhoodsresearchlink office, laboratory and shared facilities—while still maximizing flexibility and optimizing lab modularity. This approach balances research efficiency with a strong sense of research community—bringing together scientists in a true sense of place and shared enterprise. Research neighborhoods can join multiple floors, integrate wet and dry investigators or simply interlock lab, lab support, workstation and office.
Learning spaces, research spaces and incubator spaces should be based on a consistent module that is transferable from floor to floor.

Illumina is a meeting-intensive company, so conference room space was a huge priority. Each building has themed conference rooms that include warm-up or cool-down spaces outside of meeting rooms for groups to use before and after meetings. The meeting rooms have a curved design to symbolize the company’s work with DNA and organic materials.

EmeryStation West
This project is Wareham Development’s first high-rise structure and is a prominent addition to their campus and the City of Emeryville.
The curvilinear design was inspired by the form of movement, wind, transportation elements and as a response the block forms of previous buildings to appear more graceful. The lobby was inspired by the clients’ desire to achieve simple elegance with natural reclaimed materials and landscape elements. Design elements that support active waiting— mobile computing and access to wireless internet—also figure prominently into the lobby.

Perkins and Will completed a site capacity analysis, master plan, and Concept Design for a 4-acre Bay Area life sciences development. The resulting facility is a 360,000+ square foot life sciences building designed for a single or multiple tenant use. Various laboratory test fits were executed to validating program compatibility based on lab planning modules, lab to lab support, and office workplace scenarios. An independent parking structure addresses parking needs in addition to that provided in the lower level of the science building (570 spaces total). Schematic Design is slated to begin mid-2020.
