LIFE SCIENCE BUILDING CORE COMPONENTS
Life Science buildings contain a unique set of features that need to be carefully designed for. Besides around-the-clock occupancy with various research needs, these buildings are often comprised of several floors of office and lab space accompanied by high-ceilings and large windows - creating a variety of architectural and lighting challenges. See below for the core components of Life Science Building Design and how ALW's product features help you address these challenges with ease.
Key Highlights
SUSTAINABLE, TOOLS, MATERIALS
& ENVIRONMENTS
Life Science building designs often prioritize achieving industry sustainability standards from LEED and WELL such as Light Quality, Glare Control, Sound Absorption and Circadian Lighting.
ALW offers tools to reach sustainability standards such as: expanded optics, BIOS light sources, Declare certifications, and the Harmonic Acoustic Collection.
BALANCING NATURAL AND
ARTIFICIAL LIGHT
In Life Science buildings, it is important to address drastic changes in general light levels in spaces near large windows like lobbies and transition spaces.
ALW fixtures feature Daylight and Occupancy sensors and Embedded Controls to automate and tailor lighting to occupant needs and energy savings.
DYNAMIC ARCHITECTURE FOR
EVOLVING RESEARCH NEEDS
Life Science buildings often feature a variety of ceiling types and conditions to adapt to evolving research needs.
ALW luminaire features such as flexible mounting options, conduit cutouts, acoustic panels, and suspended to recessed mounting options help address even the most complicated building architecture challenges.
PRECISE LIGHTING FOR
DETAILED TASKS
Laboratory and research facilities require precise lighting, avoiding unneccessary glare and inefficiency with various room conditions.
ALW fixture feature expanded optic options such as widespread, asymmetric, batwing, low glare, wall graze, wall wash, and control roll continuous lenses to help direct light where it's needed.
