The design of the Bryan Innovation Lab, an indoor-outdoor environmental complex on the campus of the Steward School, facilitates a progressive, interdisciplinary program with contemporary, sustainable building form and site development.

Its design was inspired by the scientific method, providing places for Observation (wetlands site, exposed construction and systems), Hypothesis (classrooms and library), Testing (laboratory, kitchen, garden, outdoor work spaces) and Conclusion (exhibition and event spaces). Offering a break from traditional classroom methods, the space facilitates focus on real-world issues of sustainability: the natural and built environment, energy and resources, health and wellness.
