How do you design an innovative neuroscience research facility to study the brain and bring together biological sciences, physics, engineering, chemistry, and social sciences? In this video course, we explore the state-of-the art Chen Neuroscience Research Building at Caltech. We review how the project team achieved LEED v4 certification by focusing on reducing energy and water consumption in the labs, increasing indoor air quality, selecting sustainable building materials, and using an integrative process to reach their goals.
