Knight Cancer Research Building

The Oregon Health and Science University Cancer research hospital in Portland, Oregon is a national leader in cancer research and treatment. Integral Light Studio provided advanced visualizations of glazing options to understand nuanced differences in the optical characteristics of various glass types.  Through daylighting analysis of visual comfort conditions for computationalist researchers, Integral provided feedback for interior furnishings, layouts, building skin design elements, as well as shading design consulting and façade optimization. With design criteria focused on collaborative environments and occupant wellness, daylight played a crucial role in shaping the building skin and resultant indoor experience.
