An adaptable chassis for program responsiveness, growth, and resiliency

Two institutions, one building, 100% yet-to-be-recruited users, and changing translational research priorities. These are the demanding conditions that put research facility flexibility and adaptability concepts to the test, and here you’ll see the results through a case study of the Texas Instruments Biomedical Engineering & Sciences Building. Session leaders chart the process of defining a balance of facility capability and cost that will sustain multi-disciplinary research programs into the future. They detail key elements of a flexible chassis solution supporting a variety of research typologies, recruitment, and collaboration, and how the adaptability concepts responded to end user buildouts during construction.
