With a mission to deliver life-sustaining and industry-changing impacts to citizens throughout the United States and around the world, Texas A&M University's new AgriLife Research and Extension Center provides faculty and students with a state-of-the-art facility for advancing research in urban agriculture, natural resources, and the life sciences.
Recently highlighted by Allsteel – an industry leader in innovative office furniture solutions and workplace design – this Flad project focuses on creating an interactive environment to promote collaboration among departments and individuals. Design elements, from finishes to furniture, were carefully selected to support organic interaction and a myriad of work styles. The building maximizes connections to nature and the unique agricultural mission of the program through views of the surrounding urban campus and natural daylighting.
