Gemini Sciences – La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology

This research building for Gemini Science, Inc. was the first to be developed in the UCSD Science Research Park. Based on our prior success with them, La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology retained Delawie to design the facility which included a biosafety level 3 suite, offices, and research laboratories. Following the guidelines of the research park, the design incorporated horizontal forms to reflect the geological strata found on the site. Vertical forms are used to contrast and accentuate the entry points. The plan is anchored by a three-level atrium, which links both the north and south entrances. Third floor balconies encourage the building's users to interact with the outdoor space.
