The 200,000-sf, LEED Gold certified Couch Biomedical Research Building is located on open space (surface parking and landscaped areas) at Washington University. In years past, this was a residential neighborhood with small single family masonry residences that have been razed leaving buried subsurface rubble.<\/p>\n
The facility replaces older, less efficient research space with new, highly flexible space to accommodate new research teams and interdisciplinary research, plus BSL-2 laboratories for all disciplines and genotyping laboratories. It houses the Department of Genetics, the Center for Genome Sciences & Systems Biology, the Department of Medicine and the Department of Developmental Biology.<\/p>\n
The six-story building has a basement and penthouse for mechanical space. The remainder of the building is designed and fit out for research labs and associated lab support functions.<\/p>\n
The building is projected to be 35 percent better than ASHRAE 90.1, using 126 kBTU\/sq ft. Energy modeling to date indicates actual building operation to be less than 103 kBTU\/sq. ft. per year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
