SLU Research Hub
Researchers at UW Medicine’s continually expanding biomedical and clinical research hub at South Lake Union (SLU) are working to develop life-changing therapies and medical breakthroughs. The site includes more than 1,200 researchers and staff in five lab buildings.
Green design is a hallmark of UW Medicine’s South Lake Union campus, a recipient of the American Institute of Architects Washington Council Civic Design Award. The buildings include sustainable, high-performance features such as a highly efficient chilled beam radiant cooling system, significant natural day-lighting supplemented by automated lighting control systems in laboratory areas, and exterior sun shades that limit solar gain, further reducing energy use. Sustainably harvested wood decking and low water use vegetation complete the design.
