The New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics & Life Sciences (COE)
The new $140 million, 400,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Life Sciences Complex was constructed on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. The complex houses life-sciences research designed to improve human health by developing new therapies to treat and cure disease. The buildings have masonry walls with punched windows and curtain wall, metal panels with strip windows and sky lights.
Thornton Tomasetti provided curtain wall consulting services to the architect including review of the exterior walls, roofing and waterproofing, and review of shop drawings and specifications. Additionally, we witnessed the air and water tests and provided quality control during construction.
