Laboratory Incubator I Indiana University I Bloomington, IN Dedicated to developing new technology -based companies and advancing research activity in Bloomington, this laboratory incubator supports Indiana University's research and life science missions and fosters business activity that benefits the community and state. Flexibility is a key ingredient in the design, with 25,000 SF of office, dry lab or wet lab space that can be built out and adapted quickly for new companies. Spaces include a large meeting room, office space, Pervasive Technology Laboratory (with Advanced Network Management space and office space), leasable dry labs, leasable wet labs and wet lab support. The design provides spaces for shared use, such as a large 50- person meeting room, various -sized conference rooms, a break room, server room and autoclave room. The dry labs on the first floor and the wet labs on the second floor have been grouped together and can easily be subdivided to lease in increments of 300 square feet, providing flexibility to lease them individually or as larger lab spaces. The structure can accommodate heavy research work and vibration sensitive equipment. The orientation, scale, and layout of the design respect the precinct master plan and adjacent buildings. The simple building form conveys a straight- forward organizational layout with a central circulation spine that anchors the north and south wings. The main entrance creates a dramatic and transparent lobby element to invite and engage staff and visitors. The facility is designed to obtain LEED® Silver certification while accommodating a future 30,000- gross- square -foot expansion. BSA LifeStructures teamed with Messer Construction for this design - build project. Size 40,000 SF Construction Cost $8,000,000 Completion Date May 2009
