Open to men and women from

around the world, the university

was conceived of by King

Abdullah as part of an effort to

quickly expand Saudi Arabia’s

economy beyond fossil fuels.

Thuwal, Saudi Arabia

KAUST was envisioned as an entirely new kind of research university, spurring innovation and creativity through a fundamentally different model of organizational structure. KAUST identifi ed four strategic research thrusts and complementary interdisciplinary research centers that apply science and technology to problems of human need and social advancement. Research focuses on the following four thrusts: Energy, Water, Environment, Food and Agriculture. Research centers are developed to support the research thrusts and include: • KAUST Catalysis Center• Clean Combustion Research

Center• Plant Stress Genomics Research

Center• Solar and Photovoltaics

Engineering Research Center• Center for Water Desalination

and Reuse• KAUST Advanced Membranes

and Porous Materials Center• Red Sea Research Center

The fl exibility of the universal lab neighborhood allows the co-location of a broad range of multidisciplinary labs with greatly varying environmental and technical requirements.

In support of KAUST’s mission of environmental stewardship, HOK designed the campus to rigorous sustainability standards. The campus received a LEED Platinum certification; the largest LEED Platinum project in the world.

KAUST is one of the world’s fi rst research universities to build an integrated economic development and technology commercialization program on one campus. Both the organization and the facilities are in place to rapidly take ideas from basic research through commercialization.

The primary goal of the Kavli Nanoscience Institute is to bring together research laboratories in order to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration in the concentrated areas of nanobiotechnology and nanophotonics.

HOK designed centralized multi-user laboratories in which to conduct research in nanostructure synthesis, fabrication and characterization. The facility accommodates multiple modalities of imaging including SEM, Cryo-SEM and STEM with special measures taken to control acoustics, vibration and electromagnetic interferences.

The facility is based on a “Molecular Foundry” concept. It includes many of the basic tools needed for both top-down and bottom-up nanotechnology explorations, as well as

providing space for instrument development, characterization, imaging and some metrology operations.

HOK’s design supports research into the development of key enabling technologies that are dependent on finding new, more efficient materials for alternative energy. For instance, the creation of nanostructures that increase the surface area of lithium ions or even pure lithium (in a moisture and oxygen free environment) is one of the keys to the development of an electric car that drives 300 miles on a single charge.

The laboratory includes Class 100 and Class 1,000 cleanroom space, special measures to control for vibration and environmental conditions, and MEP and HVAC systems designed to accommodate state-of-the-art equipment with specific shielding needs.

research organization. RTI

sought to reinforce its master

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina

With research programs in energy technology, analytical chemistry and nanotechnology, the laboratories were built and equipped to the exact specifications of those disciplines.

Primarily laboratory space (80 percent) including high-bay labs, the building consists of two wings, and was planned with future growth in mind. One wing is occupied by current programs, and the other will be outfitted as needed to accommodate new or expanded programs.

The laboratories are highly modular, allowing them to grow and change with RTI’s research needs. Lab areas include: • Energy Technology Labs• Nanotechnology Lab• Exposure Analysis Research Lab• Microanalytical Science Labs• Electron Microscopy Labs• Analytical Chemistry Labs

The Science and Engineering Building at RTI facilitates scientists

RTI’s Energy Researchers are scientists and engineers who conduct applied research and development to solve challenging energy-related problems faced by the power, chemical, and petroleum refining industries, as well as the transportation sector. They work with a variety of industry and government clients to develop technologies that seek to generate cleaner and more efficient sources of energy.

By providing research space to attract and retain the brightest talents, designers set a precedent that would allow for maximum collaboration, interaction and creativity. The three-story building includes facilities for conference and staff amenities, as well as greenhouses with a large headhouse with plant growth chambers and growth rooms. The open, flexible labs are placed in two, three-story blocks with a large atrium between. The light-filled atrium holds balconies, lounges, meeting rooms and interactive space. Food service, dining, fitness center and a 300-seat auditorium round out the employee amenities. The Center has consistently been ranked as one of the top 10 research institutes to work in the world, according to Science magazine.

The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center is helping to put

St. Louis at the

forefront of plant

science discovery in

a fl exible, sustainable

In February, 2007, Jack and Susan Taylor gave a $25 million gift to the Danforth Center to create the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Institute for Renewable Fuels. The Institute has expanded the scientific expertise of the Danforth Center to speed up development of plant-based renewable biofuels. These fuels will decrease the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and reduce the current dependency on fossil fuels in future years.

HOK was the Architect of Record for the plant science research facility, completed in 2001, and most recently provided design services for the laboratory fit-ups to support the new Center for Advanced Biofuels Systems (CABS). The CABS project is made possible by a recently awarded $15 million in grants from the US Department of Energy (DOE) in which the Plant Science Center was asked to be home to one of 46 new, multi-million dollar Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs). The EFRCs will pursue advanced scientific research on energy, including increasing the thermodynamic and kinetic efficiency for select plant and algal-based fuel production systems.
