Details:
LEED Gold. Fit-out of approximately 15,000 square feet for teaching laboratory use. This space is primarily designed for under-graduate teaching at NW Labs. The B1 level, named for esteemed Harvard professor Jeremy R. Knowles, is approximately 7,500 square feet. There were 2 large seminar rooms that can be further subdivided into 4 seminar rooms with folding walls that drop from the ceiling. To promote the teaching aspects, the space needed to be flexible. Therefore, there could be no services/utilities coming down from the ceiling in the space. A uniquely designed and extremely flexible under-floor trench system was installed to supply utilities to a specially designed table named the “Harvard Universal Bench”. There are also support bench spaces, tissue culture rooms, and environmental rooms located on this level.
Level 1 is approximately 7,500 square feet. This space was mainly designed for project-based courses which mimic the experience in a true research laboratory setting geared around under-grad project work. Approximately 3,000 square feet of this level was dedicated to chemistry. A farm of 9 fume hoods, glove box rooms, chemical storage rooms etc. were designed and built for the chemistry teaching area. The remaining 4,500 square feet was designed for biology wet bench research similar to the rest of the NW Labs building standards. Both the Level B1 and Level 01 teaching laboratories were designed to incorporate as much flexibility as possible, so that both levels could support a wide range of courses from such diverse disciplines as bioengineering, chemistry, biology, anthropology, and physical sciences. Both levels feature state-of-the-art computational/visualization support to enhance the collaborative experience among students.
