Uncas A. Whitaker Hall for Biomedical Engineering, St. Louis, MO
The Whitaker Hall for Biomedical Engineering building is the first new building in the Engineering School complex. The new biomedical engineering building will accommodate the teaching and research activities of 55,000 net square feet of teaching, laboratory and lab support, animal facility and office space. The primary objective for this project was to provide the research groups with first-class laboratory space, which is safe, functional, and flexible, provides a good work environment and allows room for growth.
The building will include three classrooms, offices, labs for faculty and a mix of wet and dry engineering labs, two teaching labs, a microscopy suite, appropriate lab support space, a 3,000 NSF vivarium, a computer center and a (Class 100) cleanroom future. The building design incorporates the modular concepts that provide an appropriate level of flexibility in space configuration, building systems and laboratory furniture. This flexibility allows for easy and economical future space modifications.
This three story facility includes a flexible laboratory wing comprised of 22,000 NSF of wet laboratory space, 12,500 NSF of procedure, equipment and environmental areas; a nanofabrication lab; vivarium and electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance suites. Supporting the research space, a three story atrium connects the laboratory wing with faculty office pods, classrooms, a 250- seat auditorium, computer classrooms, student and faculty lounges and library and seminar rooms.
