This addition to the Life Sciences Campus at the University of Washington houses the departments of Bioengineering and Genome Sciences. The five-story building, set into the gently sloping landscape of the campus, features two separate wings, each designed with a custom unitized facade type, chosen to match the existing campus buildings facing each wing.  The two wings are connected by an enclosed four-story pedestrian bridge. 


The southeast side of the building, occupied primarily by office and meeting areas, is clad with a custom aluminum-and-glass unitized curtain wall system. The northwest side of the building, which consists mainly of laboratory spaces, is enclosed by a custom curtain wall system with open-joint terra-cotta and horizontal and vertical glass mullions that provide exterior shading for the more sensitive laboratory spaces.  


The building’s overall massing is divided to suggest two distinct buildings, each of which includes its own entry indicated by a large cantilevered glass canopy.  The building’s interior receives additional daylight from two skylights located at the center of each building.


Heintges provided building envelope consulting services during all phases of design and construction.
