Carver Anatomy and Physiology Laboratories


Client

Western Washington University

Location

Bellingham, Washington

Scope

Renovation

 

Hands-on learning spaces for physical sciences education.

Educational programs in medicine, health, and fitness are growing rapidly across the country. To alleviate crowding in existing lab spaces at Western Washington University, SHKS Architects transformed 2,800 square feet of unoccupied space in the Carver Academic Facility to accommodate two new anatomy and physiology laboratories. Separated by a shared storage and prep area, the laboratory spaces maintain flexibility for multi-purpose use as programs continue to evolve. Built-in furnishings, such as cabinetry and sinks, are limited to perimeter walls to maximize adaptable space. Student and teacher workstations all incorporate movable and adjustable furnishings.
