“The reason New Orleans exists is because of its relationship with water.” These words open “New Orleans BioInnovation Center: Resiliency in Design,” an exclusive tour of Eskew+Dumez+Ripple’s LEED Gold biotech incubator, opened in 2011.
The voice is architect Mark Ripple’s, and he and principal Z Smith walk us through the ways in which the 65,000-square-foot lab building uses sustainable design to recycle stormwater, mitigate solar gain, and foster biotech innovation.
