project description

Genome Valley has emerged as the preferred destination for major R&D focused life sciences companies in India. It houses over 150 Companies, making it the country’s largest cluster of multi-tenanted lab space infrastructure in a single location. Located in Shameerpet, Genome Valley is a mix of knowledge parks, special economic zones, multi-tenanted wet laboratories, incubation facilities, office spaces along with supporting peripheral facilities.

Touchstone Square is envisioned to be one of the fine life science campuses with advanced chemical research and development facilities in the Genome Valley research park. Due to the extremely sensitive nature of the work, all building services are designed to optimize the functionality of the research labs to offer a sterile and efficient workplace environment.

The layout for the facility derives its cues from the site features and climatic context. Hyderabad enjoys pleasant weather for most of the year. Low rise buildings placed around green courts create cool green garden spaces and an ideal introverted microclimate for the campus occupants.

The labs and ancillary facilities are organized in low rise structures with ample daylighting and views of the gardens.
