Boston – Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM) selected the Goody Clancy + Christner, Inc. team to program and design a 120,000 square foot multi-story research building in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. The team brings together Boston-based Goody Clancy’s breadth of research building design experience with Christner’s local expertise in campus planning and design.
The new research building, which is being called the Scott McKinley Research Building to reflect the physical location of the building between Scott and McKinley Avenues, is envisioned to provide links within the WUSM community and attract and retain the highest caliber research talent. It will provide a framework for both collaborative and individual research needs, and showcase and anticipate trends in research lab design through flexible and adaptable spaces which can evolve to meet future needs – all within a highly efficient building envelope and supporting systems infrastructure. LEED© Silver Certification is targeted. Building occupancy is slated for June 2015.
