ValleyLab Headquarters Building

, AK

Located on 17 acres North of Boulder, this facility originally consisted of three buildings connected by enclosed glass bridges. The expansion goal was to add space while maintaining a similar architectural vocabulary between distinct buildings. This emphasized distinguishing the buildings stylistically and aesthetically to maintain an exit strategy which allows the buildings to be sold separately should downsizing or relocation ever occur. The three-story office/administration building addition features a main entry with an atrium providing exceptional views of the mountains. Sunscreens add texture to the building facade and provide a tie to the existing buildings, while the 207-car parking structure acts as a base for the office building. The new warehouse and sterilizer facility is centrally located to facilitate efficient distribution to the other campus buildings. Loading docks are located on the Southeast side of the site for wind and snow drift protection while also easing truck circulation and reducing truck/pedestrian conflicts.
