The lighting design for the 346,000-square-foot, 12-story Eli Lilly Seaport Innovation Center at 15 Necco Street aims to create an environment that enhances productivity, fosters collaboration, and supports cutting-edge genetic research. This state-of-the-art facility houses laboratories and office space dedicated to developing medicines targeting illnesses such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegeneration, and chronic pain. The design concept leverages modern lighting technology to achieve energy efficiency, adaptability, and user comfort, all while aligning with the architectural vision of the space. A balance of natural and artificial lighting illuminates laboratories, collaborative areas, and individual workstations, ensuring optimal visual conditions for detailed research tasks while creating a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere for scientists, researchers, and staff.
