Academic Research

Drawing from our expertise in both Science + Technology and Higher Education, Perkins+Will provides a synthesis between teaching and research that makes us uniquely qualified in the design of Academic Science facilities. Our design addresses the experience of one person at a time: how a student learns, how faculty collaborate in research, or how a thought leader is inspired. We have designed teaching and research facilities for over 150 college and university clients in the last ten years both nationally and abroad.

Over the past six years, eleven of our laboratory projects have been recognized for excellence in planning and design. Three have received national acclaim: from the Governor General of Canada, from the American Institute of Architects and from R&D Magazine's Lab of the Year competition.
