Johns Hopkins University | Undergraduate Teaching Labs
Johns Hopkins University’s Undergraduate Teaching Laboratory (UTL) was recently awarded LEED Platinum by the United States Green Building Council (USCBC).

Light-filled and open, the Undergraduate Teaching Labs puts interdisciplinary learning on display. Ballinger designed the active learning and research facility to house Johns Hopkins University’s biology, chemistry, neuroscience and biophysics departments.

The facility is an addition to the existing Mudd Levi Biology complex. Its design engages a lushly-landscaped and tree-filled garden alongside the building.  An expansive glass facade provides visual access to the garden from the classroom and lab spaces within and puts science activities on display to the adjacent pedestrian pathway. A student commons serves as the primary entrance from the existing building to the addition, and functions as a lounge and study space for students.

The project achieved LEED Platinum certification through an emphasis on energy efficiency, sustainable site development, and interior environmental quality. The facility uses 40% less energy than similar lab buildings, by employing chilled beams, occupancy sensors, high-performance fume hoods, and energy wheels that recover heat and moisture from exhaust air.
