Having reached its structural pinnacle, the 10-story Class A office and laboratory building, the new Evanston Labs has taken shape at 710 Clark Street, adjacent to the Northwestern University campus. Developed by Trammell Crow Company, the building will offer a high-tech environment for companies in biomedicine, nanotechnology, and neuroscience.

Designed by ESG Architecture & Design, the 10-story structure will feature a rounded bronze and glass facade with wooden accents. Spanning an area of 177,575 square feet, the facility will contain eight floors devoted to laboratory and office spaces tailored to meet wet and dry lab research requirements. The building has been designed to accommodate single or multi-tenant levels, with flexible 5,000 – 9,500 RSF graduation suites and floor heights ranging from 14’6″ to 16′.

One of the main features of the facility is its centralized chemical storage system, which streamlines hazardous materials management and promotes a safer working environment. Additionally, the penthouse is equipped with extra mechanical and equipment space. The building’s infrastructure includes vertical shaft space adjacent to the core, intended for tenant-provided infrastructure.

Trammell Crow Company has also planned various tenant amenities, such as a ground-floor restaurant, private balconies on each floor, and a 100-person collaboration center. Rooftop amenities include a boardroom, bar, lounge, outdoor terrace with a fire pit, lawn, and fitness center with locker rooms.
