Harvard University - Northwest Science Building
Cambridge, Massachusetts
This new multi-disciplinary research building for neurosciences, bio-engineering, systems biology, and computational analysis has become a model for a new generation of research environments that emphasize collaborative learning. It also defines a new campus yard—replacing World War II-era structures on the north edge of the campus—and creates an important link between Harvard and the adjacent Cambridge community.
