JAX Genomic Medicine, Farmington, CT

This new, four-story, 189,000-sf research facility is situated on 16 acres adjacent to the University of Connecticut Health Center’s Farmington campus. JAX Genomic Medicine benefits from knowledge-sharing and collaborative relationships with a variety of institutional research, government, and private business partners. The facility creates a collaborative and adaptable research environment that facilitates the collection of new knowledge and forges a collegial community as the epicenter of a new scientific cluster.

With a mandate to create a flexible, transparent, and collaborative environment to reflect the organizations culture, Tsoi Kobus worked with JAX to develop a facility that is welcoming, appealing, and impressive in its expression of JAX’s energy, while exercising pragmatic design restraint befitting of this well-respected nonprofit organization. The design encourages a culture of collaboration through the organization of the core lab, visual connections between spaces, and multiple amenity spaces to balance the intensity of scientific focus.
