Attractive facility features
Shionogi integrated drug discovery functions
In 2011, with a view to realizing world-class research productivity by further strengthening cooperation within our organization, Shionogi integrated drug discovery functions previously dispersed among four sites in Osaka and Shiga Prefectures into the Shionogi Pharmaceutical Research Center (SPRC) in Toyonaka City, Osaka, which is composed of a new pharmaceutical research facility (SPRC4) and three existing buildings (SPRC1, 2, and 3).
Completed in July 2011, SPRC4 will form the core of SPRC. It contains drug discovery research laboratories built to the highest standard in Japan, with cuttingedge laboratory equipment and information technology.
The facility features many initiatives to foster exchange and mutual collaboration among researchers, and reduce the environmental footprint. In this manner, the SPRC is designed to be environmentally friendly, while at the same time enhance intellectual productivity.
To foster proactive interaction and mutual collaboration among researchers
To foster proactive interaction and mutual collaboration among researchers, the basic concept is that close interdisciplinary communication with different scientific backgrounds in daily operations is the key to innovation, so the facility features various layouts designed to stimulate creativity and flexible thinking. Based on this concept, we introduced “Galleria” as an open office area, along with many communication spaces artfully located in almost every working unit to encourage researchers to interact casually. The laboratories also have a higher degree of freedom in their layout that will enable us to flexibly deal with future changes in the research environment, such as installing new equipment depending on the situation.
