The project will provide 117,800 GSF of flexible, open, and modular high-tech interdisciplinary research laboratories, principal research investigator offices, core instrumentation facilities, support space and three conference rooms to foster Texas Tech's growing research enterprise. The core instrumentation facilities will house needed state-of-the-art instruments and support for research in areas of state and national need that is being conducted by the larger campus R&D community. The project will also provide essential research laboratory space characterized by an interdisciplinary "institute" environment. The proposed building location is in close proximity to the current Experimental Sciences Building. The scope of the project will also include displaced parking, site utility infrastructure work, public art, and landscape/hard scape development. |
