Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center

The Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center (ADARC) project, initiated in 1989, has seen continued involvement from Lord Aeck Sargent, encompassing advocacy, architectural design, and program management. ADARC, recognized as the world's largest private HIV/AIDS research center, is committed to pioneering solutions to combat AIDS through innovative research and therapies. With its relocation to the Columbia University Irving Medical Center in 2016, ADARC sought greater collaborative opportunities and translational research capabilities. In 2020, the completion of a newly renovated laboratory space on the 10th and 11th floors of the Hammer Health Sciences Building marked a significant milestone in ADARC's journey. This state-of-the-art facility, designed by Lord Aeck Sargent, includes BSL-2 and BSL-3 research laboratories, equipment rooms, offices, and conference rooms, reflecting ADARC's unwavering commitment to advancing HIV/AIDS research and patient care. Through meticulous planning and execution, Lord Aeck Sargent has contributed significantly to shaping a cutting-edge research environment that fosters innovation, collaboration, and breakthrough discoveries in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
