When the member societies of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology began to outgrow their current office space at the Lee Building, FASEB contracted Williams Notaro to design a new facility on their campus. This facility provides expansion space for the societies and accommodates the phased renovation of the existing building. The new facility projects the desired "Corporate Headquarters" image and provides the members with a comfortable, flexible and modern office environment.
