Designed by Behnisch Architekten, Harvard University’s new Science and Engineering Complex (SEC) is a dynamic lab for research and learning. Its forward-looking design reflects the advanced, world-class spatial and technological solutions of its faculty and staff who are meeting the complex, changing requirements of scientific inquiry. The cornerstone building of the school’s new Allston Campus, located directly across the Charles River from Harvard’s 300-year home in Cambridge, the 544,000-square-foot research and teaching facility housing the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) sets a distinctive architectural tone for future development in one of Boston’s last undeveloped neighborhoods. Charged with becoming the “healthiest building on the Harvard campus,” the SEC establishes the university’s commitment to sustainability, cutting-edge academic and research activity, and high-quality urban design.
The Knight Cancer Research Building (KCRB) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) serves a singular mission: to end cancer as we know it. To achieve this, the Knight Cancer Institute championed a “team science” approach that encourages scientists to work differently, performing interdisciplinary early detection research in an environment upholding collaboration, connections, and shared resources. The KCRB breaks down barriers in order to build up scientists to do their best and most innovative work all in the name of a cure.
Situated in the heart of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences is a pioneering research facility for the scientific exploration of the brain. It has been carefully sited amid the natural rugged setting of the campus. Once the new tram link to the city center is opened, the building will act as a gateway to the university its dynamic social spaces and laboratory facilities are designed to attract exceptional scientists, as well as to foster an interest in the center’s research activities within the wider community.
Spencer de Grey, Head of Design, Foster + Partners, said: “Understanding the enigma of the brain is the most challenging endeavor of the 21st century and research in this area is vital to the quality of life for millions of people. This is one of the most innovative projects of its kind at an Israeli university, with several laboratory complexes that are highly flexible to anticipate and accommodate future change, arranged around an open central courtyard that is at the heart of the scheme.”
A state-of-the-art venue, the BuddyHollyHall of PerformingArts and Sciences, has opened in Lubbock, Texas. Totaling 220,000 square feet, the hall – the first of its size and type in the region – was planned and designed by internationally recognized theatre design firm, Schuler Shook, architectural firms Diamond Schmitt Architects, Parkhill, and MWM Architects, along with acoustician Jaffe Holden.

Extension of the gymnasium located in the area of the former Capuchin monastery extends spaces of the school with required specialized classrooms, teacher’s offices and labs. The proposed archetypal shape integrates the basic proportion features of the historical buildings of the monastery, but at the same time it consistently works with contemporary expression means, setting the building into timeline.
Program: The new construction includes four floors of biology and chemistry research facilities, two floors of biology and chemistry teaching labs, a below‐grade nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy lab, and a 175‐seat auditorium.
