Grand Valley State University dedicated the $55 million P. Douglas Kindschi Hall of Science in August of 2015 in Allendale, Mich. The four-story, 152,000-sf facility provides 15 teaching labs, 14 research labs, nine classrooms, conference rooms, study areas, a computational lab, and a 3,000-sf greenhouse. Research Facilities Design was the laboratory design consultant for the facility, which features interactive labs supporting a shared functionality in which faculty and students can engage in collaborative projects. Instrumentation is located along the walls in the research spaces with flexible workbenches in the center. The project team included architectural firm Fischbeck, Thompson, Carr & Huber and general contractor Pioneer Construction. Ground was broken on Kindschi Hall in May of 2013. LEED Silver sustainable design will be sought for the project.
