I2SL 2025
We are proud to sponsor and present at I2SL 2025. It takes place October 19-22 at the Omni Dallas in Dallas, Texas.
Sustainable lab design
Investment is surging for bigger, more efficient labs—especially in warmer regions of the US. To support these, we need innovative design solutions for decarbonization, energy reduction, and optimal building performance. Our cross-disciplinary team of architects, lab planners, and engineers offers a holistic approach to healthy, resilient design.
Learn how our team is addressing these challenges at I2SL 2025:
Tuesday, October 21, 2:00–3:30 PM: Innovative Solutions for Laboratory HVAC: Leveraging CFD for Better Outcomes (Session F)
Speaker: Aaditya Patel
Learn more about our approach to designing sustainable lab buildings.
