Designing a research facility in the University of Pennsylvania's Hayden Hall gallery resulted in a unique and beautiful space to work in. The space came with a 25 foot high ceiling and plenty of windows.

The challenge was to divide the space into graduate and undergraduate labs with different access privileges while adding to the grand space aesthetically.

The solution used the large space as an"outside." The space was subdivided with capped walls which visually enclosed the rooms. The plan tied the rooms together with continuous space.
