This $4.2 million project designed by The Miller|Hull Partnership in association with McAdoo, Malcolm & Yoeul, is located on the ship canal between Ballard and Fremont. The facility houses laboratories and office space for 50 scientists and technicians. Adjacent to the lab is a landscaped area, which provides a waterside park for the residents of Queen Anne Hill and views from the offices and labs. The building's expression incorporates a contemporary industrial aesthetic, responding to a neighborhood of boat sheds and light manufacturing warehouses. The north facade of the building projects into the ship canal, creating spectacular views of the water traffic from the office and conference areas. All of the lab spaces connect directly to a three story mechanical core allowing modifications to be easily made within the labs. The 29,000 sf laboratory received a 1986 Seattle Chapter AIA Honor Award and a People's Choice Award. The building also received a national Lab of the Year award in 1988 from The Research& Development Association, and was subsequently published in Research & Development Magazine. Miller|Hull is currently designing a 6,000 sf administrative addition which will provide more lab space within the original building.
