Rohit Saxena and Jane Baughman uncover the design of biocontainment laboratories, where infectious disease research takes center stage. They reveal how these labs are meticulously engineered to prioritize safety, incorporate cutting-edge mechanical systems, and facilitate collaboration among researchers. Here, the architecture isn't just a backdrop—it's a critical component that ensures everything operates seamlessly.
Featuring
Tully Mahoney, Storytelling Content Coordinator
With a background in Quantitative Economics, Tully brings a fresh perspective to Page's Storytelling team. She excels in simplifying complex ideas to make the architecture and engineering industry more accessible to a wider audience. As the host of Page’s Podcast, The Good Room, Tully dives into the narratives behind our built world and the minds that shape it. The podcast serves as her platform to help demystify the intricacies of design.
Rohit Saxena, Science & Technology Sector Leader, Principal
Modernizing existing, fully-occupied science research buildings with complex utilities and systems and multiple design and construction phases is where Rohit does some of his best work. Finding robust solutions that focus on directing more of your construction dollars towards your building program remains an essential focus of Rohit’s efforts. Achieving this goal means developing strong long-term relationships with clients, engineers, and contractors.
Jane Baughman, Technical Director, Principal
For Jane, a great set of documents doesn’t just happen. It’s the end product of a process and the midpoint to a high-performing, safe, and beautiful building. Jane strives to make that process better for everyone involved — clients, teams, and contractors — and to serve as a bridge between understanding the complexities of a visionary design and implementing that vision in the real world of steel and bricks. For over 29 years, Jane has applied her experience in planning and constructing complex buildings like BSL3 and forensic laboratories, clean rooms, research vivaria, airport terminals, government facilities, and academic buildings to find innovative solutions to improve the built environment.
