UNR Center for Molecular Medicine

NMJC Western Heritage Center | UNLV Science & Engineering | UNMHSC Domenici Center | UNR Molecular Medicine

The Facility is located on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno, forming the northern edge of the University of Nevada School of Medicine complex. The facility will provide a University research laboratory, mouse vivarium, and clinical space for the private partners; The Whittemore Peterson Institute, Red Labs, and the Nevada Cancer Institute. The project is interdisciplinary in nature and will incorporate the fundamentals of sustainability and energy efficiency capable of achieving LEEDTM (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and meet the criteria set forth by Labs21. Campus context is reinforced and reinterpreted with the exterior cladding of this project. The existing campus brick is pulled into a skin where volumes and lighter glass planes push through and sometimes beyond it expressing and exposing interior functions creating an inviting and transparent building for both users and patients.
