Advancing California's Emerging Technologies (ACET), an Alameda-based biotech incubator, will begin construction on a new 30,000-sf lab complex in December 2002. Funded by a $6.4-million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce, the complex will triple ACET's existing facilities, and will include forty 500-sf labs, video conferencing facilities, an international trade office, and parking on the 3.5-acre site. The first light industrial facility in Catellus Development Corp.'s 215-acre development at the former Alameda Naval station, the incubator will be the largest facility of its kind west of the Mississippi. No architect or contractor has yet been selected, but the San Francisco office of HOK has created general sketches.
