Theory and Computing Sciences Building was designed by a n i m a t e, located in Argonne (Chicago), Illinois, United States , U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory recently opened a world-class interdisciplinary research centre which is dedicated to large-scale computation and builds on Argonne’s strengths in high-performance computing software, advanced hardware architectures and applications expertise. Equally important, was designing an environment that encourages people to work together in solving the great scientific, energy, environment and security challenges of our time.

Unlike any other building on Argonne’s sprawling 1,500-acre campus, TCS was specifically designed to be an open and flexible workspace to encourage the free flow of ideas between scientists at Argonne as well as the technology to connect researchers across the globe. The TCS Building is 7 stories high and encompasses approximately 200,000 sq ft of space, including: 25,000 sq ft computing centre, 18,000 sq ft library, 10,000 sq ft advanced digital laboratory, 7,000 sq ft conference centre, 30 meeting rooms and 3 advance visualisation labs.
