"Discover! Global Perspectives, Local Strategies"
Attracting and Creating Global Scientific Excellence Through Flexible Design Planning

Fundamental for universities is the competition for world-class scientists. Research is increasingly multi-discipline, collaborative, and evolving rapidly. SOM worked with Harvard to design the Northwest Science Building using a flexible core and shell and a "kit of parts" for design and delivery of the interiors. The building provides researchers with space that can be delivered within schedule, on budget without losing quality or flexibility. The building design also reduces the most expensive real estate cost; down time during renovations.
