At Torrey View, a life science research campus in San Diego by Flad Architects and Breakthrough Properties the idea was to harmonize building with environment. The campus buildings reflect geologic formations; this was achieved by replicating the layered geology of canyons using precast concrete and Glass-Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC).
The project spans 10 acres to encompass a 515,000-square-foot life science research campus, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal. The campus consists of three multi-story research buildings and a standout amenity building with a cantilevered roof. Additionally, there is a 1,400-stall parking structure that lies partially below grade beneath the amenity building. Among the tenants is BD Biosciences, one of the largest medical technology companies in the world.
