Location: Chapel Hill, North Carolina
The goal of the Biomedical Research Imaging Center is to provide an environment that promotes multi-disciplinary/multi-departmental research interactions that can more effectively address problems in biomedical imaging. The design for this high rise laboratory seeks to reduce the mass of a large building housing a variety of complex research environments by fronting a large “window” of curtain wall facing south onto a green space which the new building will help shape. A lightweight solar shade provides control of glare and heat gain while adding richness and detail to the façade through a layering of materials and textures.
