HUNTSVILLE, ALA. -
The $60 million HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology will officially open in the Cummings Research Park in Huntsville, Ala. in April of 2008. Housing 12 for-profit companies and 900 employees, the facility will support Alabama’s high tech, biotech, and clinical research industries to address a variety of diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. Designed by Cooper Carry, the 270,000-sf project is the cornerstone of the 150-acre CRP Biotech Campus. The design concept provides a highly flexible and efficient environment that minimizes first costs to the project developer while reducing the impact of future fit-up operations. The Institute features several significant social spaces to encourage interaction between tenants including a library, a café, conference rooms, and an atrium. The Institute provides bioengineering research space including tissue culture, incubation, wet chemistry, freezer farms, glassware washing, sterilization, autoclaves, and vivarium cage washing.
