"An angled two-story glass-curtain wall, light court and creative use of interior glass flood this unique underground research facility with daylight, eliminating the gloom typical of subterranean buildings and making it difficult to believe this aesthetically pleasing design houses both a high-powered cyclotron and the world’s most powerful MRI. The jury commented: clever design solved the problem of lighting in a below-grade building and the workspaces exceed expectations of the clients and visitors."
