The University of Michigan has completed the second renovation phase of the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Laboratory in Ann Arbor. Designed by Lord Aeck Sargent, the $11.1 million project included construction of a 10,161-sf addition to house the University of Michigan Energy Institute and the creation of advanced laboratory space on the second floor of the existing building. The completed facility includes a 2,108-sf chemistry lab with 12 fume hoods, a 1,082-sf chemistry lab with two fume hoods, research offices, and an executive conference room. The flexible labs are illuminated by an abundance of natural light and feature overhead service carriers, mobile benches, and reconfigurable cabinetry. The LEED Gold-certified addition was constructed with a floor below grade to accommodate the chilled beam mechanical system as well as the electrical, data, and plumbing infrastructure. The project team included structural engineer Robert Darvas Associates, MEP/FP engineer Peter Basso Associates, civil engineer Midwestern Consulting, and general contractor DeMaria Building Company.
