Building Transparency, a nonprofit organization that provides open access data and tools to foster a better building future, announced it is developing Tally® 2.0, the next iteration of its tallyLCA tool, in collaboration with KieranTimberlake. The new version of the tool will continue to support the building industry by providing insight into the environmental impact of materials and different building designs. 
 
“We are honored to partner with Building Transparency on the development of Tally 2.0," said Ryan Welch, Principal and Research Director at KieranTimberlake.  
"By transitioning Tally to a free and open-access tool, we aim to move the AEC industry towards design strategies that minimize environmental impact."

KieranTimberlake staff recently traveled to the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) campus to celebrate the opening of the state-of-the-art New Science Building. It is one of the most energy efficient biological and chemical laboratory facilities in North America. 
 
The four-story, 177,000 GSF research center was designed to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovation while meeting ambitious sustainability goals. Various life science research and entrepreneurship initiatives are now centralized, including advanced diagnostics, cancer phototherapy, neuroscience, chronic pain treatment and drug discovery, among others.

As our 40th anniversary comes to a close, we're wrapping up the year with a final round of celebratory events, conferences, and other engagements captured quarterly in the Happenings Poster designed by our in-house team. 
 
This fall, KT staff will be traveling the world—from Salt Lake City to Singapore—for conference presentations and awards juries. Featured project presentations include the recently completed John A. Paulson Center at New York University and the forthcoming Penn's Landing Pavilion, which broke ground last year.  
 
We'll also be hosting two public events at our office in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, including the Bottling House's latest exhibition.

Curious to see how a university facility can foster student and community entrepreneurship in a shared urban location? Take a virtual tour of the Eric J. Barron Innovation Hub, a multi-disciplinary nexus that does just that.

As part of our ongoing 40th anniversary programming, we transformed Ortlieb's Bottling House, our COTE® Top Ten award-winning historic office space and living laboratory, into an interactive exhibition titled More or Less, showcasing KieranTimberlake's interventions at colleges and universities across the country.  
 

This summer, KieranTimberlake welcomed eight students from across the country to work alongside our staff on various architectural and research projects. 
 
The internship provides a meaningful opportunity for students to participate in a range of professional design activities and gain broad exposure to ideas that push the practice of architecture forward. 
 
The 2024 cohort brings together undergraduate and graduate students from as far as Texas and Louisiana to Philadelphia. Their academic and professional interests range from carpentry and book collecting to AI modeling and designing sustainable clothing.  
 
Throughout the summer, interns work directly on project teams, gaining hands-on experience while also inspiring our staff with fresh perspectives and insights. The program includes topical presentations and roundtable discussions, mentorship activities, site visits, and intern-driven group projects. 
 
The internship program is led by Associate Brandon Cuffy and Architectural Staff María José Fuentes. 

2024 marks 40 years of KieranTimberlake and we're continuing to celebrate with more events, conferences, and other happenings. To better capture all that we're up to, we'll be sharing quarterly posters designed by our in-house team.  
 
In July, August, and September, KT will be presenting the recently completed Folger Shakespeare Library, a case study on collaboration with the Eric J. Barron Innovation Hub, the multi-facade design for 2300 Market, and insights from our Research Group. 
 
See below for more details. We look forward to connecting soon at events both near and far.

KieranTimberlake projects earned three 2024 Design Awards at last week's AIA Conference: 

• Architecture Award for the John A. Paulson Center at New York University
• Education Facility Award for the John A. Paulson Center at New York University
• Housing Award for North Campus Housing at the University of Washington

New construction photos of 2300 Market reveal exciting progress on the 8-story, 225,000-square-foot life science research and discovery building.

We're thrilled to share Architectural Record's June 2024 cover story featuring the newly renovated Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC.  
 
Reopening to the public on June 21, the Folger houses the world's largest collection of Shakespeare's printed works. Over the past ten years, KieranTimberlake has partnered with Folger to provide strategic planning services, culminating in an expanded site and reimagined visitor experience.
