PRINCETON, N.J.
Princeton University opened the 265,000-sf Frick Chemistry Laboratory in September of 2010 in Princeton, N.J. The sustainably designed facility features self-closing fume hoods, photovoltaic panels, heat recovery, and advanced HVAC systems. The $278 million project was designed by Hopkins Architects in association with Payette. The general contractor was Turner Construction. Site work began on the project in summer of 2007. Designed to foster interaction and collaboration, the four-story facility provides classrooms, teaching labs, faculty offices, research labs, an NMR suite, and an auditorium. An atrium with abundant natural light houses the Taylor Commons.
