At Kewaunee, we believe that the spaces we build are more than just laboratories. They are environments that spark discovery, foster innovation, and create meaningful change in communities around the world.
Launched this year, the Amazing Spaces competition was designed to showcase the exceptional work of our Associates and partners in delivering scientific environments that lead the industry in quality and innovation. With 16 entries spanning the Americas, EMEA, and Asia, the competition highlighted everything from greenfield builds to long-term client collaborations.
But the true impact of Amazing Spaces goes beyond the projects themselves. As part of their recognition, our regional winners were given the opportunity to support causes close to their hearts—turning innovation into action.
