This project consists of renovating approximately 14,000 square feet of research space located in the west half of Pod B on the fifth floor of the Health Sciences Center building. Research labs and support spaces will be renovated into modern, innovative BSL2/BSL2+ labs. All existing furniture, finishes, and built-in equipment (FFE) will be removed, the floor plan reconfigured, and new FFE installed. All mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems within the area of renovation will be updated and/or reconfigured. The renovations will result in decreased operating costs, improved efficiency, functionality, collaboration and increased levels of safety, security, and accessibility while providing a positive impression for recruitment. |
