Interdisciplinary Science Building at Brookhaven National Laboratory
Upton, NY
The Interdisciplinary Science Building (ISB), is a state-of-the-art facility that will bring together scientists focused on the nation’s most pressing challenge of the 21st century — energy. E.W. Howell has been chosen to build the 87,000 gross-square-foot, 2-story building.
The new facility will group existing energy scientists into one facility with collaborative environments to facilitate and realize the benefits of multi-disciplinary collaboration. A particular research focus at the ISB will be developing effective uses of renewable energy through improved conversion, transmission, and storage, with applications in the smart grid, batteries, and photovoltaics.
The ISB is registered with the USGBC with a certification goal of LEED gold.
