The Hauptman-Woodward Institute’s Structural Biology Research Center in Buffalo, N.Y., received a National Award of Merit from the Society of American Registered Architects (SARA) in January of 2008. Designed by Cannon Design of San Francisco with RFD (Research Facilities Design) as laboratory design consultant, the Structural Biology Research Center is a showcase for the state-of-the-art biomedical research that takes place within its laboratories. The project was designed to enable the recruitment of new scientists, expand research initiatives, and foster interaction and collaboration. The program is articulated into a three part geometry comprised of a rectilinear translucent laboratory block, a curved office wing, and a three-story atrium linking the two.
