Clinical Research Facility - South Campus 
Houston, Texas

This $32 million, four-story research building is a prototype designed to accommodate select users from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center’s primary tenants, plus tenants from the private sector conducting related research activities. 
The lab space had to be flexible and easily partitioned for multiple tenants. The lab benches are mobile and can be detached from the overhead utility umbilical and rolled to an adjacent lab for reconnection.
All supporting functions associated with the shell space have the functional ability to be adaptive to an established lab function. The scope of work also included a 474-space precast concrete parking garage.
This project was delivered with the Design/Build approach and yielded considerable cost and schedule savings when compared to lab buildings executed with the traditional method. In addition, the entire project duration, from design to construction completion lasted 19 months.
