Mapping the Future of Material Sciences: Adaptive Platforms for the Age of AI
The Advanced Materials Research Facility challenges a core assumption in laboratory design: that we can predict how science will use space.
As AI-driven Materials Acceleration Platforms (MAPs), robotics, and high-throughput experimentation reshape discovery, lab programs are becoming increasingly fluid. This project demonstrates how an existing, conventionally planned facility was transformed into an adaptive platform capable of supporting evolving research workflows.
