Minnesota Departments of Agriculture and Health Laboratory Building

The MDA/MDH laboratory is a showcase 21st-century research center, as well as a pilot project of Minnesota Sustainable Design Guide. The lighting design creates a cutting-edge laboratory image, meeting the sustainable design requirements while providing quality lighting for demanding laboratory tasks. The three-story lobby sets a precise laboratory image and distinctive character with indirect lighting and custom light fixtures. In the laboratory, indirect light fixtures provide quality lighting for both screen and bench tasks. Lighting achieves 1.3W per-square-foot power density and exceeds the requirements of Minnesota Sustainable Design Guide.
