Specifications include, but are not limited to: The State seeks qualified Respondents to develop, design, and construct both the RISHL and private laboratory space within a single building, which should provide building efficiencies, catalyze economic development, and de-risk private investment, while delivering a muchneeded new RISHL facility. Recent studies indicate a demand for private lab space in Rhode Island in excess of 40,000 square feet. In addition, Brown University, in a recent letter attached as Exhibit B, has expressed an anticipated need of 20,000 to 30,000 square feet (SF)of private lab space over a period of time and expresses that it would assess opportunities to lease such space if the building is located in close proximity to Brown’s Alpert Medical School and other facilities located in Providence’s Jewelry District.
