To meet ULRI’s mission of creating advanced, low-cost renewable energy sources and environmental sustainability to address global safety challenges, Skender built a flexible, digital-first laboratory designed with collaboration and energy efficiency in mind.
This new space at the world-class chemical research facility provides ULRI with critical infrastructure and equipment as well as office and collaboration spaces to support the team of scientists and staff members. Designed as an incubator for scientific innovation where students and early-career researchers can work alongside seasoned experts, the MDRI lab of ULRI harnesses advanced computing and experimental methods to create innovative materials for renewable energy and environmental sustainability. The buildout included joining multiple lab sections within a secure envelope, retrofitting existing labs, and adding specialized laboratories.
