In the heart of NC State’s bustling campus rises the future of Integrative Sciences – a 153,000 SF building that will seamlessly mix teaching, research, collaboration, amenity and support spaces. At its center are three core labs that empower NC State to create new kinds of molecules, image and visualize molecules, and work to develop new technologies to use these molecules. Crossing the STEM disciplines of biology, chemistry, biotechnology and engineering, the innovation coming from this building will have impacts exponentially greater than the size of the molecules they work with.

This state-of-the-art 5-story building features flexible research spaces, immersive labs, mega lab, large gathering spaces and informal gathering spaces. Structural steel framing and careful calculations to support the two floors of laboratory space. The first floor houses an event space, gallery for public engagement with science and the mega lab for experimental instruction.
