From Vision to Reality

Jacob White Construction partnered with Yong Architects Inc. to retrofit a 2,523-square-foot laboratory space on the campus of Rice University. Designed to support the cutting-edge research of the Kampouri Group, the project focused on creating a state-of-the-art environment tailored to their work in addressing global environmental challenges through innovative material design.

From reimagining the existing space to incorporating specialized elements for advanced research, we approached this retrofit with the precision and care required for a world-class academic institution. The new lab now serves as a hub for pioneering work in light-driven catalysis, MOF-based devices, and the synthesis of semiconductive MOFs, providing researchers with a space that enhances collaboration and innovation. This project reflects Jacob White’s dedication to excellence and our commitment to building relationships that empower the pursuit of groundbreaking discoveries.
