Designing a Sustainable Future

Laboratory buildings account for over 50% of fossil fuel use on campus. The new Vagelos Innovation Laboratories will be a model for transitioning to a fully decarbonized built environment in New York City.

Diverse sustainable design strategies are embedded into the building’s design through a series of mechanical, architectural, and operational measures. Together, these work to ensure the energy-efficient, fully electric performance of the building.

Once completed, the new building will bring cutting-edge research and clean energy to CUIMC.
