Neurosciences Institute

Neurosciences Institute


Location: La Jolla, CA
Architect: Todd Williams, Billie Tsien

Dates of construction: 1995 


The Neurosciences Institute is part of a larger research campus called The Scripps Research Institute. As implied by the name, this building aids the theoretical and clinical research on the brain done by the institute. It houses a theory center, laboratories and an auditorium. It is also good to note the fact that this building is actually composed of three buildings that are arranged around a central plaza.







Much of the structure of the building is composed of sand blaster concrete. It is also accented with Texas fossil stone and stainless steel.
