Article source: Hopkins Architects A chemistry research building aiming to become a new standard in energy efficient design. The project is for a low-energy use research laboratory and teaching facility that will meet the highest technical specifications, while providing an attractive working environment.  Night View
The new Chemistry Building is designed to integrate general teaching and high-level research, and planned to enhance collaboration and creativity. All communicating spaces are designed to promote formal and casual interaction.  Interior View The building massing expresses its programmatic organization; the faculty offices are accommodated in the towers facing the Campus woodland, whilst teaching and research laboratories are housed in a deep linear block to the rear. Circulation between these two spaces is via a central glazed atrium. This structure filters natural light into laboratory and conference spaces, becoming the main place of assembly.  Interior View The building is located on a ‘gateway’ site, at a promontory over one of the principle entrances to the University Campus. It is a new component of a wider planning effort aiming to consolidate a ‘science neighbourhood’ that would involve all of Princeton’s science buildings. We worked with Boston based firm Payette who were the Architect of Record on this project.
