Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Lawrence, Kansas. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a 235,500-square-foot educational facility; and laboratory facility.

The Integrated Science Building #2 is a life science building that is an approximately 235,500 GSF science building that will provide research, teaching and core lab spaces with a focus on biology. This building will house departments and core labs currently in Malott and Haworth Halls. When complete the building will serve to support a diverse academic, research and teaching curriculum within the bioscience disciplines on the Lawrence campus. With the addition of a centralized vivarium (consolidating the multiple current vivarium), core labs and a physical connector to Gray-Little Hall directly adjacent, the new building will provide the final link in a multi-disciplinary science rich environment within the Central District of Campus. The design of this facility will create a highly collaborative environment that functions at a variety of scales and facilitates interactions between the building users, industry partners and university research group. The space will be flexible and adaptable to a variety of research types and needs. As of April 1, 2026, this project is currently awaiting funding.
