Laboratories & Research

While we strive to provide highly technical, comprehensive solutions that bring value and efficiency to your organization, we understand that buildings must be in compliance with many codes and regulating authorities. From GLP validation to Fire Safety to AAALAC, our designs must meet the requirements of evolving codes and standards to provide you with functional, efficient, and safe working environments.

Our team is highly specialized in a small number of building types. In constant pursuit of excellence, we stay deeply involved in day-to-day project work while researching the latest codes and industry standards, and keeping our teams, partners, and clients informed and up to date.
