The existing Life Sciences Building at UCLA was in need of significant upgrades and expansion to serve the university's research needs. Pre-design studies determined that a new building would best meet their goals to provide UCLA with a state-of-the-art research facility. Because the new Life Sciences Replacement Building will be located on a high profile site within the campus, next to a historic campus building, UCLA sought an architectural and engineering team that could design a premier facility, meeting a strict campus plan.

The new building will house the Department of Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology, the Department of Physiological Science, and the Department of Organismic Biology, Ecology and Evolution. Syska's design supports the diverse requirements of wet research laboratories and related laboratory support space for this LEED® equivalent facility. A unique overhead lab utility services unit was design and is the first installation of its kind in a lab space. The unit provides a high level of flexibility and convenience to users and maintenance staff. We also designed a custom plant growth laboratory which features a unique custom rack system that maintains temperature and ventilates the room through a light fixture to extract ballast and lamp heat away from plant-life.
