The document discusses several building projects including renovations to the Keith-Wiess Geological Laboratories at Rice University, which included replacing the curtain wall and renovating labs and classrooms. It also discusses the UT Wet Lab Building featuring a complex curtain wall design inspired by a nearby building, and the Monsanto Center housing botanical collections with separate zones for research areas with windows and collection areas without windows.

1. Keith-Wiess Geological LaboratoriesAn existing research lab and instructional classroom building for the Geology department at Rice University. Phase I included a curtain wall replacement along the south elevation and a complete renovation of the 3rd Floor. Bricker + Canaday designed a 4 foot module window wall system to replace the existing 2 foot module concrete fin bris-soliel. WHR worked with them on the interior design and layout of the new labs, offices, and classrooms, as well as, a display area in the elevator lobby. 1/18/20111

5. MD Anderson Biological LaboratoriesAn existing research lab and instructional classroom building for the Biology department at Rice University. Phase I included a partial curtain wall replacement along the south elevation and renovation of the 3rd Floor. Similar to project to the Keith-Wiess Geology Laboratories.

6. UT Wet Lab BuildingA 150,000 SF biological Wet Lab building for the University of Texas. The building is designed to fit in with the campus master plan as designed by CeasarPelli. The complexity of the fenestration drew inspiration from a CeasarPelli building across the street.The hierarchy of openings denotes whether a room is a lab, office, classroom or study area. A stained glass DNA art piece crowns the curtain wall.1/18/20116

9. The Monsanto CenterThe Monsanto Center houses a world-class herbarium collection, library, offices, and laboratories for the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Christner developed sustainable design criteria for the site development, landscaping, building envelope, operational systems, building materials, and interior finishes. The building is designed to last 100 years and to expand to the west, more than doubling its size. The building rests on base isolators to survive a New Madrid earthquake.1/18/20119

10. The Monsanto CenterThe building is designed with two distinct vertical zones, with separate thermal and environmental controls. Research and office areas are to the south, with Large windows that reflect light off the angled ceiling, providing adequate daylighting. The collections area is heavily insulated and without windows, and is located to the north. 1/18/201110

13. Deer Valley Medical CenterSpacious Class A medical office building in the Deer Valley Section of Phoenix. The project includes a 4½ tier parking garage and a landscaped motor court and entry plaza. A two story entry lobby, filled with natural light, greets tenants and visitors. The exterior is composed of horizontal bands of EIFS and glass. A curved blue glass curtainwallcreates visual contrast and provides balconies on the fifth floor. A complimentary curved sunscreen provides additional interest, and a termination point for the curved glass wall. 1/18/201113
