Out-of-The-Box Thinking
Humanity owes its health and safety to the countless individuals who manage the world’s laboratories and research facilities, and who help bring life-saving medicines and therapies to market.
At DPR, we build cutting-edge spaces that challenge norms and foster discovery, equipping our heroes in lab coats and Tyvec suits to change the world.
When it comes to developing the next generation of treatments, vaccines and healthcare technology, time is a precious resource—especially today. That’s why we prioritize schedule certainty, cost predictability and swift adaptability to ensure project delivery that’s as efficient as it is innovative.
Our team also recognizes that the worlds of life sciences research and patient care are increasingly intertwined. We’re building more projects with R&D labs and patient care spaces under one roof as the healthcare industry strives to develop new treatments faster and more effectively. We understand this “bench to bedside” approach and the growing importance of data in life sciences research.

Decades of Experience
In the Life Sciences Market
We're proud to have partnered with the nation's top-5 biotechnology and top-5 pharmaceutical companies. As the life sciences industry moves towards more individualized medicines, DPR is leading the way in building advanced therapeutic facilities.
We don’t just build these structures, though—we’re constantly learning and appreciating what happens inside of them, too. This grasp of evolving regulations, good lab practices, complex processes and the technology that makes it possible drives our success. Plus, our expertise goes beyond just the lab.
We can build state-of-the-art structures for the rest of your campus, including office buildings, data centers, parking structures and more. We know that recruiting and retaining top scientific talent calls for modern amenities and a space that encourages collaboration. DPR has the expertise to assemble an entire facility that not only puts the latest scientific technology in your hands, but makes your employees feel at home while at work.
Thanks to DPR, our new facility will also leverage cutting-edge technology to enable scalable and cost-effective manufacturing capabilities to clients around the world. Suffice to say, your entire team has made our monumental vision a dream come true. Not only do I thank you and DPR for the extraordinary job, but so do our future patients, whom we hope to give a second chance in life.

My experience with DPR has been outstanding. Safety, quality, schedule execution and budget control are key measures that I rate contractors on and DPR is one of the finest firms. They balance all to a very high level. As a valued team member, DPR engages the owner, architect/engineer and key stakeholders to provide guidance, management and expert direction in a unique and much appreciated manner.
