Currently in construction, the Campus at Horton is a transformation from the iconic outdoor mall to a new nearly 1 million SF mixed-use campus, including a 10-storey high-rise, all-electric, life science tower. Targeting LEED Platinum, this new life science tower will incorporate airside and waterside energy recovery, variable controls and sensing for lab exhaust, and air-source heat pumps for heating and to supplement the campus chilled water central plant, and a photovoltaic and battery storage energy system.
A deep dive into this case study explores the design strategies, the challenges faced in converting an existing structure and in delivering life science tenant space in a high-rise tower, all while targeting the highest levels of sustainable performance and zero-carbon operation.

Derek Heeb
Derek Heeb, AIA Associate Principal, RDC Derek brings a passion for “place” to the practice of architecture. With more than two decades of experience in a range of commercial and residential development, the common thread in Derek’s work is a need to create meaningful experiences of public space in which the quality of “being there” ads value beyond the programmed occupancies.
As a leader of RDC’s Placemaking Studio, Derek brings together the three pillars of full-service architecture: design, technical knowledge, and project management. Derek enjoys working with clients to guide them through the architectural process, helping them to develop their design inspersions into project realities. “I believe that architecture is the service of design”.
