Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research
100 Technology Square

One Hundred Tech Square represents a major step toward the establishment of a bold new research “hub” for Novartis. The design reflects the client’s desire for a distinctive research environment modeled upon principles common to scientific investigation in academia. This translates into laboratories that are distinguished by inter-lab visibility. The laboratories benefit from maximum exposure to natural daylight and the floor-to-ceiling glass walls separate the office spaces but still support their adjacency. Since the laboratories are organized around the common areas, they create vibrant, interactive spaces that facilitate the exchange of information that is essential to a productive workplace that meets Novartis’ requirement for a state-of-the-art science facility.
