Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Research Laboratory for Cell Development and Regenerative Biology
New York, New York
The Icahn School of Medicine came to Jack L. Gordon Architects (JLGA) with a special project: Transform an outdated hospital floor into a specialized research space for a top principal investigator in the Department of Cell Development and Regenerative Biology.
JLGA designed an open research lab facility featuring a reconfigurable, state-of-the-art wet laboratory with flexible benches to accommodate evolving research needs and double the workspace. To maximize daylight and access to river and city views, JLGA placed the core lab along the floor’s windowed periphery; computational and support areas were situated adjacent to the lab to facilitate collaboration. Completed in two phases while occupied, the facility includes live zebrafish and robotics labs, along with fly microscopy, tissue culture, RO plant, and glass wash rooms.
Design modifications and aesthetic enhancements include new ceilings, lighting, and flooring. Sustainable design elements include energy-saving perimeter window heating and insulations, LED lighting, occupancy sensors and an upgraded mechanical system. The sealing of air leaks between source and delivery and new VAV boxes enhance airflow and control.
