Materials Characterization and Processing Facility wins Honorable Mention—Innovation in 2023 Design Excellence Awards

Johns Hopkins University’s Whiting School of Engineering had been in need of consolidated materials characteristics and processing space for several years, as the school’s instruments were previously housed in three separate buildings across the campus. The school looked to an early-20th-century historical building on campus as a possible new home for its program.  

The result is the Materials Characterization and Processing (MCP) Facility, an 18,000-square-foot core laboratory facility with state-of-the-art electron microscope and scanning electron microscope research and equipment. The MCP is poised to become the most sophisticated facility in the mid-Atlantic for the processing and characterization of materials, according to the Design Excellence Awards entry.

For preserving a historic building and adapting it to incorporate cutting-edge scientific equipment, Lab Manager has awarded Page Southerland Page, Inc. with Honorable Mention—Innovation in the 2023 Design Excellence Awards. Page Southerland Page, Inc. served as design architect/lab planner for the project for the Materials Characterization and Processing Facility at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD.
