Case Study: The Francis Crick Institute advances London life sciences with Gensler-designed lab space

The Francis Crick Institute delivers 33,000-square-foot lab space with Gensler

The Francis Crick Institute faced the challenge of accelerating demand for high-quality lab space in London's Knowledge Quarter. They required adaptable, high-performance environments to foster collaboration and support the city's growing role in global health. Gensler was engaged to provide architecture and interior design services to address this need.

Gensler designed a 33,000-square-foot space featuring CL-2 wet lab suites, modular offices, and a central community hub to encourage collaboration. The solution included biophilic design elements and sustainable materials. This project by Gensler strengthened London's position as a life sciences destination, enhanced scientific collaboration, and drove investment in biotech to support groundbreaking advancements.
