Today's laboratory buildings are emerging as vibrant expressions of high technology and revolutionary science. Leading-edge science facilities require extensive, forward-thinking insight into the interrelationship of facility design and scientific discovery. Laboratory and research facilities for the future should be highly interactive and collaborative environments, places of high-technological impact that allow researchers more freedom in the ways they work and interact with each other and the laboratory.

CannonDesign, an internationally ranked multi-disciplinary firm of over 1,000 delivering services through 16 offices, has committed ongoing leadership and resources to the development and implementation of ideas in this area through the firm's Science & Technology Research Group, which continues to enhance the firm's status as thought leaders in the programming, planning, and design of science facilities. Our clients include Boston University, Brigham & Women's Hospital, Yale University, Saint Louis University, the National Institute of Health, Hauptman Woodward Research Institute, and the University of Kansas.
