In providing campus planning assistance, JSD plays a key role on a design team that is focused on integrated site design, providing innovative and timeless architecture, and environmental resources management and sustainability.

Key components of the Promega Campus include the Agora Center, a central gathering space that includes a wellness center, retail community, ideation center, and administrative offices; the Prairie Swale, a centrally-located, seven-acre prairie restoration and stormwater management project that began in 2000; the Feynman Center (pictured above), which is dedicated to biotechnology manufacturing; the Biotechnology Pharmaceutical Center that houses state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing facilities; and the Woods Hollow Childrens Center, a nonprofit childcare facility available to Promega employees.
