15. c h i m e r a c o l l a b o r a t i v e
Innovative solutions for science + technology
what we say
We believe great laboratory
design organically responds to
an organization’s scientific,
social, and global mission and
physical environment.
We assist our clients by
exploring the linkages between
scientific program and facility
needs, prioritizing decisions using
performance based design
achieving the best possible
outcomes in budget without
forfeiting functionality or quality.

16. c h i m e r a c o l l a b o r a t i v e
Innovative solutions for science + technology
what we say
Great laboratory design results in
responsive built environments that
stimulate creativity, productivity,
and well-being by engaging,
interacting with, and motivating
people who inhabit them.
We enhance the richness of
community and purpose of human
activities with thoughtful design
and smart analysis of how every
space works – individually,
holistically and collaboratively.

Innovative solutions for science + technology
what we say
We are advocates for and
partners in sustainability.
We have a solid commitment to
our environment, a fundamental
basis to all our laboratory
planning + design services. As
leaders in the forefront of
sustainable design for more than
15 years, we have demonstrated
this commitment by a record of
successful LEED certified projects
with proven measurable results.

18. c h i m e r a c o l l a b o r a t i v e
Innovative solutions for science + technology
what we say
We enable our clients to envision
their future.
We design labs based on a
modular and highly flexible
“platform architecture” that
incorporates a variety of “plug
& play” systems to support a
range of interchangeable
program elements; effortlessly
accommodating foreseeable
changes in how we discover,
learn, work and interact.
