Project Details
This 450,000-sq.-ft lab buildout is located in an existing base building (GOP 1) and supports a consolidation effort for a life sciences company seeking to establish a presence in the Bay Area. Buildout includes chemistry and pilot labs with support spaces, conference rooms and collaboration space. The program consists of chemistry and biology labs, open office and conference room spaces. Site logistics for this project were constrained due to concurrent construction on adjacent GOP 2 and 3.
DPR delivered the project using a plan/spec approach with Flad Architects and AEI, with select design-assist for security, fire alarm, controls and fire sprinkler. The client, design team and DPR employed a target value design approach to manage the budget. This project had a critical schedule driven by lease expirations in their existing smaller tenant spaces.
A key driver for this project was scheduling due to lease expirations in their existing tenant spaces. Through efficient logistical planning, the use of prefabrication, and takt scheduling, DPR’s project team used fewer person-hours on site than originally projected and still delivered the project on time and under budget, ultimately returning 4% savings on the GMP.
