• Utilize a standardized laboratory framework
based on modules that maximizes flexibility
and adaptability so that economies are
achieved in operations, maintenance, and
user safety over the life span of the building.
• Employ integrated design techniques and
passive strategies to minimize system
complexities and facilitate long-term
maintenance and operation.
• Provide opportunities for formal and informal
interaction.
Innovation and Unique Features
architectural
The facility’s design was intended to create
a building culture that encourages curiosity,
collaboration and excellence in research. The
building is organized around the concept of
encouraging creativity and collaboration, and
providing a healthy and dynamic environment
through extensive interior visual connections
and daylight, and encouraging access to
outdoor areas for enjoyment and exercise.
The facility was planned to respond to both
current and future program needs in terms
of space, environmental control, support
services, function, security, and energy and
water conservation. The research laboratory
groups are planned on a modular basis and
organized as neighborhoods around shared
amenities and support laboratories, to
encourage scientific interaction and sharing of
specialty equipment and knowledge.

core facilities
The Core Facilities and Collaborative Centers
at VGTI Florida are designed to provide an
interactive research resource available to all
scientists at VGTI Florida. These facilities
provide a centralized, standardized research
platform that supports all research activities
at the Institute. Rather than a “fee-for-service”
format, VGTI Florida provides a collaborative
and integrative solution to our approach to
centralized core facilities and have staffed our
facilities with a highly technically competent
staff and management team.
These facilities are also available to
collaborators and other interested scientists in
the academic and private sectors.

conflicts between plumbing and structural

the Basic Laboratory Module is approximately
