PA Technology Center – Richard Rogers

PA Technology Center – Richard Rogers

2024

Commissioned for a new research campus near Princeton, the PA Technology Center (by Richard Rogers Partnership) continues the lineage of the firm’s high-tech industrial architecture, building on precedents like INMOSand Fleetguard. The building employs an assisted-span tension structure with a central A-frame spine—housing circulation and services—flanked by flexible laboratory and office wings.

While its servicing demands were lighter than INMOS, the building’s exposed ducts, structure, and air-handling systems remain central to its identity, projecting PA Technology’s innovative ethos. The design reflects RRP’s hallmark fusion of prefabrication, flexibility, and architectural expression: a structure that is both kit-of-parts and custom-crafted.

Translucent cladding bathes the interiors in diffused daylight, with strips of clear glazing framing outward views. At night, the building becomes a luminous presence, its internal logic and technological confidence made visible.
