Bronx High School of Science has been awarded the 2024 SARA NY Design Award of Merit
Earlier this month at the SARA NY Design Awards Gala, the Stanley Manne Research Institute at Bronx High School of Science received the Design Award of Merit.
The institute is a state-of-the-art facility providing Bronx high school students the chance to conduct advanced experiments, preparing them for higher education or professional careers.
The project features three multidisciplinary labs, specialized rooms for various scientific needs, and a flexible design to accommodate evolving research requirements. It also provides summer programs, faculty mentorship, and advanced research opportunities in Microbiology, Animal Behavior, and Genetics for Bronx Science and other local public high school students.
Despite its modest size, the research center is a prominent addition to the school campus, complementing the main building and completing the student courtyard. It features a unique design with varying façade proportions and roof screening, giving it a distinct visual appeal from all sides.
Powered entirely by electricity from renewable sources, the building’s sophisticated scientific infrastructure is complemented by its sustainable design. It is expected to have an Energy Use Intensity 70% lower than typical laboratories and achieve a 10% energy savings over the NYC Energy Code baseline.
It was wonderful to celebrate with all the winners – congratulations to everyone
