San Carlos, California

San Carlos Life Science Campus

San Carlos Life Science Campus is a hub for biotechnology research and development with alluring amenities and a sprawling landscape. RSM Design focused on expanding the brand presence of this 10-building campus, which is spread across two parcels. The design team also worked to connect the campus into a holistic identity and wayfinding program. Additionally, RSM Design was involved with the creation of parking garage graphics on site. These structures are a visitor’s first impression to the project, so it was important that the design gave way to a strong sense of arrival. The abstract patterning within the signage components tie back to the biotech and medical background of the space, while maintaining a timeless and modern aesthetic to fulfill the ultimate goal of unifying the campus. Working with the the real estate team and multiple architectural and landscape consultants, RSM Design worked with all disciplines to create an integrated system.
