Soka University Life Sciences Laboratory
Aliso Viejo, California

The concept of Science-on-Display informed the building’s big idea. A transparent three-level circulation spine runs along the prominent façade facing onto the campus central green space.  Interconnecting stairs, informal meeting alcoves, views into laboratories and science displays animate the internal circulation spine and outwardly display the education and science happening within.
The Life Science laboratory building program includes 5 teaching labs, 14 research labs, lecture hall, academic offices and interactive learning spaces.
