8100 Jarvis Life Science Warmup and Spec Lab

Newark, CA

Description

Light Supporting Science and Flexibility

The transformation of 8100 Jarvis Avenue repositions the building as a modern life science environment, designed for adaptability, performance, and long-term value. Our lighting approach balances the precision required for research with a refined architectural expression.

In laboratory and technical spaces, lighting is designed for clarity and consistency, supporting detailed work and evolving tenant needs. High-efficiency systems and integrated controls provide flexibility while maintaining strong energy performance and compliance.

In contrast, public and collaborative areas introduce a softer, more expressive layer of light. Concealed coves and carefully placed accents highlight materiality and architectural form, creating a sense of depth and identity throughout the building. The exterior lighting extends this presence, reinforcing the building’s role within Newark’s growing innovation corridor.

Across all spaces, lighting works as a cohesive system, supporting both scientific function and human experience in equal measure.
