COMPLETING THE MASTERPLAN
The Shriram Center for Bioengineering
& Chemical Engineering is the fourth and
final building for the Science and Engineering Quad (SEQ) on the main campus of
Stanford University, providing a new home
for both the Department of Bioengineering
and the Department of Chemical Engineering, which were previously dispersed
among several locations on campus. Serving both graduate and undergraduate education, Shriram houses 34 custom tailored
research laboratories, an undergraduate
teaching floor with five teaching labs (
Biology, Chemistry, Tissue Culture, Optics and
Senior Design), a small animal vivarium
for rodents, fish and birds, office spaces for
450 PhD students and 34 faculty, departmental administration centers, a lecture
hall, staffed core labs and a host of other
Fostering collaboration through innovative lab design
