Each
lab bay has an analytical, window lined, bay allowing
views out and a more intimate, personalized space to
document the analyses. These bays are represented on
the building exterior providing human scale and character
to the overall building appearance.
The
"office" side of the lab is organized to allow the shared
library/conference room/break area a view to adjacent
Mount Tamalpais. The private offices and carrels line
the library allowing ease of access to shared materials.
The
exterior side of these spaces are lined with glass to
allow for views to the surroundings and to allow the
entry of natural light. Natural light is also brought
into the building in the center of the building via
skylights. These are located to highlight critical junctures
in the circulation. Slot windows on the exterior of
the lab are located at heights related to the work heights
of the users inside, allowing selective views to the
exterior while maintaining the maximum usable interior
space.
