Named #2 Most Innovative Company in North America, Cannon Design is a pioneer in transforming places, spaces, and creating buildings that are the epitome of innovative. From the Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine to the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research, Cambridge Campus, Cannon Design has created some of the most accessible and successful environments to allow medicine, scientific research, and biotech to flourish. To learn how much the “space makes or breaks a place”, especially in laboratories, science, and biotechnology, we virtually sat down with Alicia Pandimos Maurer, AIA, LEED AP, a laboratory designer who helps create these architectural masterpieces.
