McDonnell Pediatric Research Building
Occupancy: 2000
Published January 2000
Washington University's Pediatrics Biomedical and Cancer Research Center enhances research quality and provides space for the School of Medicine. The Center's departments are housed in approximately 226,000-sf which combines science programs and research space.
The Center is located amongst three prominent hospitals affiliated with the School. Connections provide direct circulation patterns between researchers, animal facilities and adjacent clinical services located in St. Louis Children's Hospital.
The most important feature of the 10-story building is Washington University's research facility space which contains generic laboratories and flexible laboratory support space. The space is designed to current trends for research with the capacity to adapt to future demands. The generic laboratories are designed to accommodate virtually any benchtop research, while the flexible laboratory support space can be tailored to the specific requirements of the individual researchers or departments. The research potion of the Pediatrics Biomedical Cancer Research provides 131,768 nsf consisting of eight generic laboratory floors. Each generic laboratory floor has 5,065 nsf of laboratory support and 7,781 nsf of generic laboratories space. Each generic laboratory floor provides 25 generic laboratory modules, 50 workstations, 10 PI offices and three secretary stations.
The programs that occupy the Center include developmental biology, molecular and cell Biology, infectious and immune disease, pediatrics and allied pediatrics departments. Both the generic laboratories and offices have direct access to natural light. The modular laboratory plan incorporates a linear equipment room concept and generic laboratory module.

The cost figures reported are supplied by the firms that submitted these
projects for publication, which in most cases are the designers or builders.
Whereas these sources are intimately familiar with their projects, they may
not be fully aware of the owners' finally-realized and recorded costs. In some
cases, costs are truly and completely accounted for, and in others they represent
a near approximation of the final costs. Costs have not been adjusted for
year of construction, nor has any attempt been made to make regional cost
adjustments.
Further, costs are not comparable on any kind of detailed standard costing model.
Hence, it is possible for the cost of one building to include a steam boiler, while
the cost of a comparable building might not include the boiler, if steam is being
supplied from an already existing campus grid. Or, in another case, a building might
include excess boiler capacity to supply steam to another building. Some submittals
include fees or unusual site improvements as part of the construction costs, which
others do not.
