Listed by Reuters as one of the 100 Most Innovative Universities in the World, Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) is the top recipient of National Institutes of Health funding in the Southwestern United States. The mission of BCM’s Center for Drug Discovery is to develop small molecule probes, preclinical candidates, and drugs for researchers and clinicians in the Texas Medical Center and beyond.

Page programmed, planned, and designed the fit-up of raw lease space on the entire sixth floor of Texas Children Hospital’s Neurological Research Institute Building. The renovated area houses laboratory and laboratory support spaces; chemical storage rooms; enclosed and open plan offices; meeting rooms; and break/lounge space. The laboratory zones are generally defined by core resources for drug discovery, structural biology, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry instrumentation, magnetic resonance systems, tissue culture stations, and standard biomedical laboratory equipment.

The project was built-out in two phases in an occupied facility that remained operational throughout construction. The first phase provided the medicinal chemistry and central support program components. The second phase provided the biological medicine program component.
