chi·me·ra

A chimera is the physical

understanding of an idea or

vision fashioned from an

imaginative, intellectual

collaboration in pursuit of

groundbreaking discovery.



A great laboratory design solution

is by definition itself a chimera; a

built environment shaped from

pieces by imaginative, intellectual

collaboration facilitating pursuit of

advances in science + technology.

Behind every great solution rests

the collaborative team efforts of

experienced, talented design

professionals who bring valued

knowledge + expertise to every

project.

what we are - people



what we say



what we say

We believe great laboratory

design organically responds to

an organization’s scientific,

social, and global mission and

physical environment.

We assist our clients by

exploring the linkages between

scientific program and facility

needs, prioritizing decisions using

performance based design

achieving the best possible

outcomes in budget without

forfeiting functionality or quality.



what we say

Great laboratory design results in

responsive built environments that

stimulate creativity, productivity,

and well-being by engaging,

interacting with, and motivating

people who inhabit them.

We enhance the richness of

community and purpose of human

activities with thoughtful design

and smart analysis of how every

space works – individually,

holistically and collaboratively.



what we say

We are advocates for and

partners in sustainability.

We have a solid commitment to

our environment, a fundamental

basis to all our laboratory

planning + design services. As

leaders in the forefront of

sustainable design for more than

15 years, we have demonstrated

this commitment by a record of

successful LEED certified projects

with proven measurable results.



what we say

We enable our clients to envision

their future.

We design labs based on a

modular and highly flexible

“platform architecture” that

incorporates a variety of “plug

& play” systems to support a

range of interchangeable

program elements; effortlessly

accommodating foreseeable

changes in how we discover,

learn, work and interact.
