Torrey Heights has been named Laboratory Building of the Year by Archello, recognizing a project that redefines how science, nature, and architecture intersect.
Master planned by Flad Architects, the San Diego–based life sciences research campus is designed to accelerate innovation through a thoughtful integration of technology, landscape, and workplace wellbeing. The project prioritizes flexible laboratory environments, sustainable planning, and spatial strategies that encourage collaboration while enhancing the everyday experience of researchers.
This recognition underscores a broader shift in laboratory design—where performance is no longer the sole metric. Today’s leading research environments are equally defined by contextual sensitivity, human-centric planning, and long-term adaptability.
A strong example of how architecture can actively support scientific progress.
