Lord Aeck & Sargent has extensive experience in the design of Academic Research facilities. Through this experience, we know the critical components that are the key to the success of this project type.

Of primary importance in the development of vibrant facilities for academic research is the ability to create environments that both fully support the work being done and promote an interactive and collaborative “community” for science. These facilities must also provide pleasant, attractive spaces that can improve morale, increase employee effectiveness and help recruit and retain researchers. Also essential in the development of a state-of-the-art academic research facility is the ability to embed within the planning and design sufficient flexibility and adaptability to respond to changes in research needs over time.

With a hands-on approach to design, we work closely with the university and researchers to determine the unique ways they work. In addition, we determine the goals the university has for the future. From these discussions, our professionals create simple, elegant, flexible, functional designs that provide for maximum interdisciplinary collaboration and future expansion.
