The Bioscience 3 building, a key campus feature, spans 117,000 gross square feet across three stories and provides innovative spaces for wet and dry labs and office suites. This building is designed to offer life sciences and bioscience companies flexible mixed-use spaces, including a 100-seat auditorium, shared conference areas, and a ground level suited for distribution and warehouse functions. The facility also supports specialized needs with capabilities for liquid nitrogen, compressed air vacuum, and standby electrical generators.

Mortenson’s dedication to innovation is further demonstrated by our relentless pursuit of cutting-edge construction techniques and technologies. We focus on creating sustainable, efficient, and adaptable spaces that meet today’s needs while anticipating future advancements. This forward-thinking approach helps our clients attract and retain top talent, reinforcing Mortenson’s reputation as a leader in constructing world-class science and technology spaces.
