Scripps Research Institute opened the Chi-Huey Wong Laboratories for Biomedical Research in August of 2024. Creating a new gateway to the La Jolla campus, the 83,000-sf structure provides leading-edge environments for drug discovery and development. DGA was the architect for the collaborative facility, which features interconnected open laboratories and a double-height lobby.
A sophisticated façade integrating glass, wood, and concrete allows natural light to fill interior spaces, with vertical fins supplying additional shading on the west side. Targeting LEED Silver certification, the sustainable facility is linked to existing buildings by an activated promenade. DPR Construction was the general contractor for the project.
