NYA provided structural engineering services for the new six-story 162,000 square foot reinforced concrete cancer research laboratory located at the Mission Bay campus of UCSF.

The building is comprised of 46 laboratories and associated support space, full and half-floor research pavilions, administration space, MEP housing, conference facilities, loading docks and vivarium facilities in the basement.

The building was designed for enhanced vibration performance to mitigate the effects of an adjacent light rail line. The seismic resisting system, consisting of ductile reinforced concrete shear walls, was optimized using nonlinear analysis procedures.

Structural Engineering Services: Structural engineering design, reinforced concrete shear wall systems, vibration control design for laboratories, nonlinear seismic analysis, research facility structural engineering.
