What We Built

The STAR One building sits within a 38-acre university site called STAR Park and provides tenants access to secure wet labs, clean space, a conference room, and office space. The building houses “spin-offs” where university faculty conduct research and generate intellectual property.  Additionally there are “spin-ins” where companies outside the state come in and strategically work with the university.


How We Built It

Approximately 10,000 square feet of concrete site-cast panels make up the majority of the building skin. A large curtain wall system covers most of the building’s south end, providing a dramatic entrance to the facility. The building is designed with flexibility in mind to allow cost-effective retrofits to accommodate each of the tenant’s needs.
