OMSI is a science campus that is looking to expand its campus around the surrounding perimeter as it acquires more land in the near future. A light rail bridge crossing the Willamette River will be completed in the near future and land on the south end of the site. In the meantime, several lab buildings and an expansion to the science museum will be planned and developed. The design studio focused on developing a site design and identifying a specific location for the biomedical engineering laboratory for the campus. After the site layout, design of the lab turned into a supportive reaction of the surrounding context and an efficient design for the program's layout and energy needs.
