Campus Master Plan | Tradeline, Inc.

Spaces include 90,000 sf of fully fit-up manufacturing and support space, including cGMP clean space, 30,000 sf of lab space, a communications center, a fitness center, and a cafeteria. The manufacturing building received LEED Silver Certification. The central plant design is based on a detailed study incorporating first and operating costs. The central plant has N+1 redundancy, six 1200 ton chillers, primary secondary distribution, six 400 HP boilers and site-wide distribution. Piped waste is provided for synthesize and HPLC wastes with a 6,000 gallon collection tank, bulk argon tank, and distribution. The electrical design includes a site wide 21 kV, 10mVA power distribution system and a 2 mW diesel generator with a 600 kVA Caterpillar-Active Power UPS system for Manufacturing Building D. The project also includes a dual redundant rotary UPS, a generator and a substation for the Communication Center.

About the Reported Cost Figures

The cost figures reported are supplied by the firms that submitted these projects for publication, which in most cases are the designers or builders. Whereas these sources are intimately familiar with their projects, they may not be fully aware of the owners' finally-realized and recorded costs. In some cases, costs are truly and completely accounted for, and in others they represent a near approximation of the final costs. Costs have not been adjusted for year of construction, nor has any attempt been made to make regional cost adjustments.

Further, costs are not comparable on any kind of detailed standard costing model. Hence, it is possible for the cost of one building to include a steam boiler, while the cost of a comparable building might not include the boiler, if steam is being supplied from an already existing campus grid. Or, in another case, a building might include excess boiler capacity to supply steam to another building. Some submittals include fees or unusual site improvements as part of the construction costs, which others do not.
