This project consists of designing and constructing a single-level, 30,000 GSF training center at the North Campus at 587 Site. The facility will provide general laboratories and simulated cleanroom environments that facilitate knowledge-based and hands-on skills training on biomanufacturing processes and equipment, including procedures required to meet the expectations of agencies that regulate medical products. Training spaces will feature the same process and testing equipment used by most companies that manufacture biopharmaceutical and industrial bioproducts. If local companies use specialized equipment, similar equipment will be installed in the training center. Flexibility in facility design is critical so that the laboratories and simulated cleanroom environments can be scheduled for academic courses, continuing education, and customized industry training; as well as be adaptable for emerging and/or shifting industry training needs.
