COTE Center For Novel Therapeutics Project Tour

  • Center for Novel Theraputics 9310 Athena Circle La Jolla, CA, 92037 United States (map)

Explore the AIA San Diego Design Award-winning project - the LEED Gold-certified Center for Novel Therapeutics hosted by the AIA San Diego Committee on the Environment (COTE).

 Architect: Perkins & Will

Client: BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.

Size: 137,500 square feet

Completion Date: March 2017 

Sustainability Certification: LEED Gold®

The Center for Novel Therapeutics (CNT) is designed to foster collaboration with scientists and clinical researchers with the common goal of accelerating therapies from the research bench to the treatment at the patient’s bedside. The new 137,500 square foot research hub will leverage the strength of the university’s world-renowned doctors and research at the Moores Cancer Center with private sector companies looking to translate research into helping cancer patients throughout the world.

Always forward-thinking, the design of the CNT uses a variety of sustainability features to achieve LEED Gold certification. This includes mass timber elements that sequester carbon, hydronic heating and cooling systems built into the floor, LED light fixtures throughout the facility, operable louvers that allow for natural ventilation, and VAV air handling systems. But what might be the most sustainable feature is renewable energy produced by two types of solar panels; photovoltaic solar panels on the roof, and photovoltaic cells integrated into the glass skylights on the ceiling of the atrium.
