Description
Formerly a storage building on Illumina's main campus quad, the center preserves much of the original structure while linking four stories with a central helical staircase evoking DNA structure. The exhibit gallery features laser-cut, DNA-molecule-inspired dimensional walls that allow airflow for large LED panels. The center won GACEP's 2026 World Class Center Award and Innovation in the Center recognition.
