The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) is a renowned world leader in research on the ecology, behavior, and evolution of tropical organisms. Their new research station is located at a former sawmill, on a sensitive coastal site next to a mangrove swamp, on an island off the Caribbean coast of Panama. The building's main functions — labs for resident and visiting scientists, teaching labs, a conference room, and support spaces — occupy a string of volumes on a raised platform shaded by an overhanging pitched roof. The main laboratory building was designed to minimize its environmental impact while providing an exemplary scientific facility.
