The institute’s mission is to accelerate scientific discoveries and translate them into useful applications by integrating studies between biotechnology, biomedicine, nanotechnology, information technology and cognitive science. In collaboration with our JV partner, Reyez constructed the first two buildings for the Institute, Biodesign Building A and Biodesign Building B on a fast-track schedule.

The 183,000-square-foot, Building A has unlocked a door to discovery by providing the ability to study and construct systems at a nanoscale—a size 1,000 times smaller than a human hair. With five levels (four above and one below), this facility includes 72,000 square feet of laboratory spaces, 28,000 square feet of administrative spaces, 800-square-foot conference room, cleanrooms, and specialized laboratory equipment tolerance FF (Floor Flatness) and FL (Floor Levelness) standards.
