From LinkedIn: The drab lab is dead. Today’s scientists demand workplaces that are vibrant, collaborative, healthy and sustainable.
So do we.
At HOK, our Science + Technology experts are pioneering new approaches to lab design that make labs as innovative as the science occurring within them. Below are but a few of the things we’ve been working on, discussing and researching when it comes to next-level lab design.
1. Emory Unveils Health Sciences Research Building II
The future of lab design can be seen today in Emory University’s new Health Sciences Research Building II. Designed by HOK and constructed by JE Dunn, the eight-story building opened in March and is home to more than 1,000 multidisciplinary researchers, includes numerous collaboration zones and is targeted to achieve LEED Gold certification.

2. Trends in the Scientific Workplace
Technology, research funding, DEI, and employee autonomy are just some of the factors impacting lab performance and function. Our lab planners and workplace strategists offer solutions to these and other challenges in a new report, Trends in the Scientific Workplace: The Shape of Labs to Come.
