The 3-story, James H. Clark Center for Biomedical Engineering and Science is strategically located at the heart of Stanford's Palo Alto campus. The Clark Center houses the Bio-X programme and fosters an unprecedented degree of collaboration among scientists from different disciplines to meet some of the most pressing scientific and medical challenges. The project consisted of three wings of laboratories that frame an open courtyard overlooked by balconies and includes a full-scale kitchen and server with 200-seat dining area, a 150-seat auditorium, and classrooms. This facility is open and flexible with laboratory layouts that can be reconfigured at will. The research space houses more than 450 scientists, technicians and faculty in biology, biochemical, biophysical, biocomputational, bioengineering, and bio neurology disciplines. The firm was responsible for the design of the HVAC, fume exhaust, building automation, and peer review of the plumbing/process piping systems.
