Princeton University engaged CosciaMoos Architecture to renovate multiple laboratory spaces, each designed for and dedicated to a Principal Investigator team over the course of several years as part of an on-call agreement with the University.
Each renovation is designed to fit the unique needs of its users, maintaining necessary safety standards and accommodating state-of-the-art technology and equipment, specialized laboratory space, and work areas for students and faculty. Highlighted projects include:
Bowen 114-117 Laboratory Renovation
To be Completed in 2023
Renovation to approximately 1,300 sf of existing laboratory space to support research including atomic physics experiments involving laser cooling and trapping of atoms.
Located in Bowen Hall on Princeton University’s main campus, Thompson Lab is a renovation of an existing laboratory space to support research by Professor Jeff Thompson. Professor Thompson’s research centers on atomic physics experiments involving laser cooling and trapping of atoms to develop quantum computers. The fundamental physics experiments required for this research are built on optical tables that necessitate low vibrational interference and a high degree of temperature and humidity stability. The planned space will hold two Optical Labs designed to minimize disturbances as much as possible. Each lab is accessed from a shared Ante Room, which acts as a buffer between the hallway and the lab spaces. To adhere to the tight temperature requirements, a new mechanical room houses equipment separate from the Optical Labs. This room location is adjacent to the main lab space, so it was critical for it to be vibrationally isolated from the Optical Labs. Additionally, the space uses flooring that dissipates static electricity, preventing any electric shocks that might disturb the experiments.

Forrestal Super Tank
To be completed in 2023
Renovation to room 150 of the Gas Dynamics Laboratory to accommodate the Super Tank and its associated crane, which needed to be moved from the Closed Circuit Wind Tunnel Project.
Forrestal Flow Laboratory
Completed in 2023
Renovation to existing Flow Lab at the Gas Dynamics Laboratory to accommodate an Aerolab Closed Circuit Wind Tunnel.
