Biomedical Science Research Building, Ann Arbor, MI
The new Biomedical Science Research Building (BSRB) addresses the important need for interaction between members of the research community as well as the interaction between students and faculty. Most of the basic laboratory planning principals were established during earlier master planning and programming phases of the project, in which GPR played a major role.
The building contains 240 laboratory modules, on four floors, that will house as many as four researchers in each module. The linear equipment room scheme is the backbone of the laboratory block. The labs open onto the linear equipment corridor on one side, and specialized procedure rooms open into the other side. Each lab module includes an equipment alcove located on the other side of an aisle. Typically the labs are grouped in neighborhoods of eight modules. The procedure rooms are arranged along the atrium wall, which allows for windows in each room to bring in daylight. Five bridges connect the lab blocks to the office ribbon through a skylit atrium at each of the four laboratory levels. The lower two levels of the building house the multi-level animal facility.
