**Where Life Sciences Innovation Meets Sustainability **

When global life sciences leader Sartorius set out to consolidate its Ann Arbor operations into a single, dynamic facility, the goal was clear: create a modern, sustainable space that unites core teams and fuels continued innovation in biopharmaceutical research and development. The new Center of Excellence for bioanalytics is built for collaboration and engagement, anchored by a striking customer experience center and flexible workspaces.

Working in partnership with Hobbs+Black Architects who designed the space and general contractor J.S. Vig, NBS provided the furnishings and specified hard tile flooring. Bringing together a diverse group of people and disciplines from previously separate locations required a space that could accommodate a wide range of work styles. To meet these needs, we furnished a variety of spaces from workstations and private offices to collaborative zones, breakrooms, and reception areas. A highlight of the space is the Customer Interaction Center, a museum-like environment where clients can see Sartorius’ technologies in action.

**“Working on this project felt very aligned with the client’s vision — bringing innovation and collaboration under one roof,” explained Ryan Wrigley, IIDA, Vice President, Director of Interior Design at Hobbs+Black. “The way our team came together across disciplines really reflected what the new space was designed to achieve.”**

NBS ensured every solution aligned with Sartorius’ global standards and branding while also supporting ergonomics and sustainability. Each area is designed for long-term comfort and adaptability, enabling smooth transitions between focused and collaborative work. Ergonomic furniture and varied seating options support movement and different postures throughout the day.

A modern neutral palette creates a clean, professional aesthetic, while stunning light fixtures and a bold pop of yellow energize the space and reflect Sartorius’ brand identity. Sustainability was a key focus, with the facility designed and furnished using environmentally responsible materials to support Sartorius in its pursuit of LEED Gold certification.

The result is a sleek, modern space that promotes teamwork, connection, and employee wellbeing. Through thoughtful furniture solutions, NBS helped create a flexible, future-ready workspace that aligns with Sartorius’ global vision and enhances the daily experience for its people. With room to grow and a space designed for progress, the Sartorius Center of Excellence is built to drive the next wave of life sciences innovation.
