School of Pharmacy and the Research Animal Facility

The School of Pharmacy and the Research Animal Facility added 115,000 square feet to existing science building on a difficult site at the University of Kansas campus.

Because the existing building floor-to- floor height of 11'-11" needed to be maintained, supply and exhaust air chases were located outside the usable floor area on the building perimeter - allowing for flexible laboratory module arrangements with very low (for a laboratory/technology building) floor- to-floor heights. Intake air is brought in at grade to avoid short-circuit potential with fume hood exhausts

Connecting at all levels with original building, the Malott Addition also contains lecture rooms seating 104 and 76 persons respectively, and is connected by a two-level bridge with a Haworth Hall addition. The upper level is for pedestrian traffic, with the lower level accommodating research support services.
