Supporting your pursuit of the next big idea and advancing teaching, testing, and research outcomes by design.
01
Teaching
Missouri Southern State University
The new $37.6 million, 68,400 SF, Roy Blunt Health Science Innovation Center, comprised of the College of Health Sciences and Campus Welcome Center, completes the campus Oval, creating a pedestrian-friendly environment, and serves as the university’s new front door. In partnership with Corner Greer Architects, our team’s design harmonizes with the international style of architecture prominent on campus while delivering a transformative space that fosters immersive learning and connection to the community. At the heart of the Roy Blunt Health Science Innovation Center is a state-of-the-art simulation hospital equipped with real-world hospital training spaces. By immersing students in dynamic, realistic clinical settings while remaining on campus, the facility enhances all aspects of medical education and fosters greater interdisciplinary collaboration. These spaces, connected by a large two-story atrium to the Campus Welcome Center, offer students and the community the opportunity to witness health and life science learning and research in action.
02
Testing
Vanderbilt University
A new clinical and pathology laboratory building adds to Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s impressive collection of facilities, and replaces a 40-year-old undersized facility. DLR Group’s design provides modern, open laboratories, based on an 11’-0” module. The majority of benches will be movable and height-adjustable lab tables with casters which will allow for easy reconfiguration to meet the needs of changing workflows. The programs include chemistry, microbiology, virology, molecular diagnostics, genomics, nucleic acid extraction and anatomical pathology.
Through a layered planning and programming approach, the new lab design incorporates multiple stakeholder needs while implementing a future-proof modular design.
03
Research
The University of Iowa
Built in the 1970’s, the historically significant Bowen Science Building lacked necessary infrastructure and open layouts. DLR Group’s design accommodates changing research investigators’ space needs and advances in equipment and technology while providing space for interaction between investigators and teams. The new layout optimizes flow through the labs to increase visibility, reduce disruption, and enhance safety and security. The renovated space includes functional laboratory modules and a dedicated tissue culture room for each investigator.
The lab design allows space for 18 PIs and includes adaptable open wet lab space, tissue culture rooms, fume hood alcoves, autoclaves, microscopy rooms, ULT freezer rooms and flex labs for specialized functions.
The Ohio State University Biomedical and Materials Engineering Complex Phase 2
The second phase of Ohio State’s Biomedical and Materials Engineering Complex project is a $94.3 million project that maximizes collaborative learning and research. It will be the home of first-year engineering courses, a makerspace, biomedical and advanced materials R&D, and engaging K-12 STEM programs.

Meet Our Team
Becca Hoynoski
"I am a laboratory planner because I love science and research, collecting data, and discovery-driven work environments. Working with the top minds in the world to synthesize these together makes me smile every day. My mentor got me into this field–she encouraged me to keep discovering, ask questions, and foster relationships."
