OLSON LEWIS + Architects led the design and delivery of Vaisala’s new U.S. headquarters and calibration laboratory at GenLabs’ premier life science campus. The 28,000 SF fit-out integrates ISO-17025 and NIST-compliant lab environments for precision humidity, pressure, and temperature measurement—supporting Vaisala’s global leadership in environmental monitoring. The project also includes open offices, support spaces, and employee-focused amenities such as a café, fitness center, and collaborative zones. Designed for performance, flexibility, and workplace wellness, this facility reflects our commitment to crafting Beautiful Places where science and innovation thrive.
