An integral part of the design for this research facility was to create showcase labs which have transparent glass walls allowing spectator viewing from several vantage points. Architectural gestures such as sloping walls, shifting forms, and a layering of materials implies a dynamic movement of tectonics. Copper, slate, tile, wood and polished granite are some of the repeated textures and materials that accent an earth-toned palette.

Various materials make up the exterior skin of the LEED certified New England BioLabs corporate headquarters, including copper panels and a pale green glass curtain wall which runs the length of both sides of the building. Unique to this curtain wall are the horizontal copper fins with snap-on mullion cover caps located above and below the glass, which act as shading devices and minimize the building's heat gain.
