Promega Corporation Kornberg Center wins Excellence in Sustainability Prize in 2023 Design Excellence Awards
The Promega Corporation Kornberg Center executes sustainable deliverables for the benefit of both the environment and its employees through a dynamic design incorporating science, innovation, and sustainability to harbor an environmentally friendly, people-focused work culture.
The Kornberg Center is owned by biotechnology company Promega, and design architect/lab planner SmithGroup and RAMLOW/STEIN Architecture + Interiors served as the architects for the project. RAMLOW/STEIN also served as interior designers for the project.
Located in Madison, Wisconsin, the design of the 280,000 gross square foot (GSF) facility started in the summer of 2018, with a design concept workshop and internal programming. Groundbreaking took place the following year and official occupancy in 2021.
The facility embodies a trifecta model: innovation in lab planning, innovation in design, and innovation in wellness and sustainability.
For an elite panel of judges sitting on the board of Lab Manager’s fourth annual Design Excellence Awards, Promega became a top contender as a leader in sustainable thinking and design, giving it the edge over other competitors.
The panelists were enthused with the boastful menu of amenities provided for Kornberg Center employees. The facility offers a greenhouse, an exhibition hall, a spiritual sound therapy room, a made-to-order kitchen, a music room, custom artwork and art program, a Biergarten, fireplaces, and a massage room.
Along with this achievement, the judges celebrated Promega's unique approach to sustainable forward-thinking design, with a heavy focus on nature and long-term energy reduction.
The facility is equipped with an array of standout sustainable design features, making it an innovative feat and the winner of the Excellence in Sustainability Award in the Design Excellence Awards.
