Renovation of MCC's Biology Department into instructional and research labs.
Working directly with Monroe County, College Administration, and end-user professors, Bergmann's design team transformed several small interior office suites into an efficient and flexible three-room working lab with an adjacent open study space.
Anchoring the two open labs is a central “wet core” that provides lab sinks, refrigerated storage, a dedicated microscope station, and easy access to lab equipment. Clustering these elements creates a synergy of working styles while offering enhanced efficiency in mechanical and plumbing designs.
The refreshed floor plan, custom millwork, and project-specific finish package provided opportunity to standardize labs throughout the campus. Staying true to MCC’s mission, Bergmann’s design provides students with a dynamic learning environment to foster opportunity, innovation and excellence within their existing facility.
