Loyola Marymount University broke ground on a $110 million life sciences building in Los Angeles in May of 2013. Supporting programs in biology, chemistry, and natural sciences, the 103,500-sf interdisciplinary facility will provide 16,000 sf of research space, 34 teaching labs, classrooms, faculty offices, study lounges, and a 292-seat auditorium. The project was designed by CO Architects with Research Facilities Design (RFD) as laboratory design consultant. LEED Silver sustainable design certification will be sought for the facility, which will feature green roofs, a photovoltaic array, and a water recycling system. Completion is expected in summer of 2015.
