Collaborating, Ideating, Innovating towards Limitless Progress

Comprehensive and Compact Outfit to Nurture Pharma Innovation

Located at Biocon Park, the pharmaceutical major Biocon’s work campus in Bengaluru, this state-of- the-art R&D facility houses laboratories for research in bio-technology and drug innovation by research scientists from different global origins, as well as support and collaborative spaces. The laboratories with a modular design approach on all floors are annexed by lab support spaces, equipment storage areas, freezer farms and office spaces, with a café and independently accessed auditorium adding value to collaborative facilities. Of the two courtyards within, the first one serves as an open area adjacent to and separating the public auditorium and café areas from the inner work- spaces. The second courtyard placed at the center of the labs and offices acts as an open breather between the compact, efficient organization of work spaces. This ground + three floors high structure’s exterior clad in a dry stone rain screen system and glass portrays a contemporary state-of-the-art appeal and approach of this proudly Global research and development facility.

Open & Flexible Plans to Facilitate Ever-Changing Need-Based Agile Interiors

The modular and adaptable design of laboratory interiors is underpinned by an open plan approach to facilitate need based agile reorganization for changing research projects and program mixes. Thus, the design program lends itself to a sustainable and dynamically evolving research and work space.

IGBC Platinum Rated Energy Management

A classic Indian climate response system – the courtyard – finds repeated application here to allow cross ventilation in collaborative and office spaces and daylighting across all research and office spaces. Extensive day-lighting, energy modelling and sight-line analysis was invested into accurately calibrating the quantity and position of external cladding and glazing. Several other sensor technologies, water and energy management systems, VAV technologies were incorporated in this design to meet an IGBC Platinum rating.
