Construction of a state-of-the-art biotechnology laboratory and office building in Gloucester was completed last month. The 1719 m2<\/sup> (18,500 sf) facility is located in a designated port area in the city\u2019s historic waterfront and will be dedicated to marine research.<\/p>\n

Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute<\/a> (GMGI) is the inaugural tenant occupying 465 m2<\/sup> (5000 sf) on the first floor of the building. GMGI will conduct genomic research on marine organisms.<\/p>\n

To conduct this type of research, complex mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) configurations were built during construction to accommodate laboratory spaces and high-tech equipment. For example, a marine research room featuring 18 aquaria with thermal controls and plumbing delivering seawater directly from Gloucester Harbor to the living species was built. A molecular genomics wet lab, a DNA lab with sequencers, an equipment passage area featuring -62 C (-80 F) freezers, and a reagent lab with built-in fume hoods were also created.<\/p>\n

Due to its location on the Gloucester wharf, the two-story building was constructed on a frost wall system elevating the structure 1.3 m (4 ft) above ground with water louvers to protect it from flooding. Additionally, the building features an anti-corrosive coating on the exterior to protect the metal panel siding from environmental elements.<\/p>\n

Windover Construction<\/a> provided project development services, formulating and implementing the site development strategy, from feasibility analysis to design, permitting, and construction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
