Brookhaven National Laboratory Physics and Chemistry Research Laboratories
As part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s national campaign to enhance its research facilities, Brookhaven National Laboratory embarked on a multi-phased modernization plan, upgrading more than four million square feet of building infrastructure. Page played a key role in this effort, modernizing critical research space in two 1960s-era facilities—Building 510 (Physics) and Building 555 (Chemistry)—to support rapidly evolving technologies and research protocols.
The project encompassed 100,000 square feet of upgrades, enhancing life safety plans, infrastructure, and laboratory ventilation. By integrating adaptable solutions, the design not only anticipates and accommodates future laboratory renovations and fit-outs but also significantly reduces the lab’s energy consumption.
Through strategic modernization, Page helped transform Brookhaven’s research spaces into high-performance environments, supporting its mission to drive scientific progress for years to come.
Workplace improvements
Glass walls replace dark, isolated labs with open, adaptable spaces, enhancing the occupant experience and fostering collaboration. In Building 510, new research environments include two Class 10,000 clean rooms designed for precision experiments. Upgrades to the Physics Seminar Wing feature an auditorium and flexible event space for knowledge-sharing.
Building 555’s modernization improves infrastructure quality, transforming outdated labs into state-of-the-art, flexible facilities for leading-edge chemical and material sciences research. With enhanced efficiency, safety, and adaptability, these upgrades not only meet current research needs but also position Brookhaven for future scientific advancements. By creating high-performance spaces that inspire collaboration, Page’s design supports Brookhaven’s researchers as they drive innovation in an evolving scientific landscape.
