Monterey Bay Aquarium Water Laboratory

The Water Science Lab renovation transformed an aging but very well-used facility into an attractive and easy to use hub for marine conservation and research. The updated lab now boasts state-of-the-art equipment, including advanced sensors and data analysis tools, enabling groundbreaking research on ocean acidification, climate change, and marine ecosystems. The renovation enhanced operational efficiency within the lab, and the replacement of the windows opened it to greater visibility and collaboration among the Aquarium’s scientists and researchers. Thoughtful design improvements, including ample storage and a natural workflow, allow the facility to accommodate high volumes of work with ease, ensuring it remains a leader in marine science and conservation efforts.
