The Gates-Thomas Lab at Caltech required a new exterior monument that honored the institution’s benefactors with sophistication and clarity.

Linespace designed a refined monument that honors the scientific legacy of Caltech with clarity and precision. Brushed metal panels and etched glass provide a contemporary take on commemorative tradition, respecting both the institution’s architectural language and its culture of innovation. The design reinforces academic pride while ensuring donor names are legible, timeless, and physically integrated into the site’s identity.
