Installation Details

The innovative Plant Sciences Building began as a research program in 2014 with the goal to improve the world through innovation that solves grand agricultural challenges. The 185,000 square-foot building supports collaboration and team based problem solving through flexible neighborhoods of open space including labs and offices.

Specialty research spaces include partner labs, walk-in growth chambers, an electronics lab, a cellular and molecular imaging facility, and a rooftop greenhouse with 10,000 square feet of under-glass space that features BL-2P and -3P containment capabilities. In response to the inherently energy-intensive nature of the research spaces, the design strategy was also developed around selection of energy-reducing systems and sustainable materials, helping the project achieve LEED Gold certification.

Cramer placed 235 Fusion r+ ESD chairs in various labs in the Plant Sciences Building. Fusion chairs are remarkably durable, reliable and comfortable – making them a favorite for all-day sitters. The proprietary r+ covering is resistant to tears and punctures and the 3.5″ molded foam cushion provides consistent support throughout the day.
