This project included renovation of four separate laboratory spaces within the UW Health Sciences Center, a building that was designed for research and laboratory functions but that is increasingly being repurposed for administrative uses.  The overall design goal was to create flexible, contemporary office environments to suit an array of groups within the School of Medicine that would build upon, promote and reinforce the department’s brand. The project’s significant technical challenges included modifying existing building systems to work well for contemporary offices.

ARC met diverse client aesthetic opinions with solutions tailored to each of the four suites, but that have common design themes. The new offices have been well received, encourage collaboration, and create connections within the departments.
