SYMBIOSIS

The progressive leadership of the IMM and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston established a vision for collaborative science both in the laboratory and in the architecture, inspiring the design of the Fayez S. Sarofim Research Building that resulted from the collaboration of client and designers.

The idea of the building is founded upon the highest principles of scientific discovery, community, collaboration, human health, fiscal responsibility, environmental stewardship and design to fulfill the building’s role to enable the Institute’s mission of preventing human disease.
