Scripps Florida

This state-of-the-art biomedical research facility and corporate campus sits adjacent to Florida Atlantic University on 30 acres of previously undeveloped land just east of I-95 in Jupiter, Florida.

The project is comprised of three buildings totaling 351,803-s.f. of biomedical research facilities and associated site-work, conference, administrative and ancillary components. All three buildings have an abundance of laboratory casework, fume hoods, cold rooms, and glassware washing equipment for basic biomedical science, drug discovery and technology development.

Maintaining the integrity of the research and laboratory experiments required 100% redundancy in mechanical and electrical systems. This redundancy was provided by a central utility plant looped to serve all three buildings on campus, as well as the use of emergency power generators at two of the three buildings.
