L.S. Skaggs Pharmacy Research Building, University of Utah

Uniting the disparate departments within the College, the Pharmacy Research Building will consist of laboratories and support spaces, offices, graduate student work areas, and a central atrium.

Atelier Ten worked closely with the architects to optimize the building envelope to reduce energy loads, meeting the State’s energy and LEED requirements. With water efficiency a major driver in Utah, Atelier Ten also helped the team develop a water budget which enables the building to use about 79% less domestic water than a comparable building. Finally, Atelier Ten provided an energy model in support of obtaining financial assistance for new construction design costs, through the Rocky Mountain Power Utility Incentive Program.
