The article recognized that "scientific research has changed dramatically" and that "researchers are looking for open, light-filled labs surrounded by welcoming common spaces to spur collaboration, often among different disciplines."

The Resnick Sustainability Center, designed by the Yazdani Studio of CannonDesign, "is an advertisement for the sustainability focused work happening outside."

Later the piece details how the center "has a rippling, curved glass facade, shaded by a vivid, sometimes off-kilter collage of angled white aluminum fins.

Inside, lofty floors connected by open stairs and equipped with public spaces on each level, make you feel like you are in a treehouse, not a science building."

This media coverage from the LA Times builds on strong momentum for the project. It was recently covered by both Archinect, Green Building News and included in a TIME Magazine article on the future of climate-friendly buildings.
