Overview

3.0 University Place is designed to support cutting-edge life sciences research, providing a comfortable and efficient environment for critical work. Our integrated design process resulted in a building that prioritizes both researcher well-being and environmental responsibility.

​

The building features high-efficiency HVAC systems with advanced filtration to ensure optimal air quality, while low-flow plumbing fixtures minimize water consumption. Occupants benefit from individual temperature controls, access to natural light, and dedicated outdoor air systems for enhanced ventilation.

​

3.0 University Place is committed to wellness and sustainability. It is proudly certified LEED and WELL Platinum. The building is also designed for the future, with flexible lab spaces and adaptable infrastructure to accommodate evolving research needs.

Maximized Lighting and Daylighting

Large, full height glazing provides ample daylight to penetrate deep into the space.  Also, large windows provide excellent views of the exterior. The Project Team  created a 3D computer simulation daylight model of the building to analyze daylight  access throughout the year. 43% of tenant areas have access to beneficial daylight  throughout the year. 

University Place 3.0 utilizes a high-performance building envelope featuring  electrochromic glazing. A sensor on the roof automatically senses daylight  conditions combined with a 3D computer simulation daylight model of the building  to automatically tint glazing based on incoming daylight. This technology maintains  superior views of the exterior while reducing uncomfortable solar heat gain and  glare.
