Caltech Chen Neuroscience Research Building

The The new Caltech Chen Neuroscience Research Building is a nexus for neuroscience research on campus. It comprises of shared lab spaces and centralized areas that foster interaction and collaboration, amplifying and extending Caltech’s long traditions in molecular, cellular, and systems neuroscience.

The building incorporates adjacent courtyard spaces and extends the Moore Walk pathway from Wilson to Holliston Avenue, fulfilling one of the school’s master plan objectives of completing an east-west thoroughfare. The theme of collaboration extends outside of building where park-like spaces promote casual interactions.

The project was completed on schedule and on budget in October 2020. This project was a design-build project delivery in collaboration with Hensel Phelps and design partner, SmithGroup.
