High-tech meets high-touch. Working spaces that inspire individuals & companies to collaborate.

The new $19 million facility is 35,000 square-feet of offices, high-tech labs, wet labs, dry labs and common areas, as well as co-working spaces that encourage collaboration between companies. It was built to provide a supportive environment for entrepreneurs and startup companies. Every inch of the building has been thoughtfully designed to provide working spaces that inspire individuals and companies to create and develop transformational, innovative products and ideas.

Careful attention was paid to the distribution and design of collaboration spaces in the building to encourage interaction between tenants. A pioneering, dynamic environment, dubbed the Sandbox, is nestled into the top floor of the building. Sustainable and passive strategies employed in the development of the building exterior include optimal solar orientation, air-tight envelope, vegetated roofs, and photovoltaic arrays. Carefully designed window openings, in combination with sloped ceilings and light shelves allow much of the building to be daylit.
