Engineering VI

BNIM worked with the University of California, Los Angeles, to design a new facility for the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science. The development of the Engineering VI building (Phase I) on the UCLA campus houses three primary driving Centers of Excellence in the field of nano-systems and clean technology and provides laboratories for new program initiatives in engineering instruction, and research. The total engineering complex is comprised of flexible wet and dry research laboratories; faculty, graduate and post-doc offices; conference spaces; supporting interaction space within various configurations; and a conference center that includes flexible meeting rooms and a 250-seat multi-functional auditorium. The facility is designed to foster collaboration inside and out by including meaningful outdoor courtyard spaces which provide a diversity of collaboration and gathering spaces. The design was a collaboration between BNIM as Co-Design Architect and Moore Ruble Yudell, which served as Architect of Record / Co-Design Architect.
