David Rockefeller River Campus named SEFA Lab of the Year™ 2020
From a series of exciting projects, the eight-person jury – which also included our Managing Director, Dario Tonelli – chose the David Rockefeller River Campus of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation as the SEFA Lab of the Year™ 2020. Rockefeller University will therefore be presented with this prestigious award at the 32nd SEFA Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale on 5 November 2020.

What does the SEFA Lab of the Year™ award mean?
The SEFA Lab of the Year™ award is a great honour that is bestowed annually to a team of experts who have created an outstanding laboratory. The prize is intended to be awarded equally to everyone involved in the project in some way. In order to win this award, a lab must meet or exceed the requirements in terms of excellence in planning, design and execution, innovation and teamwork.
