UNDRF - COELSAT

The University of North Dakota Research Foundation funded this project which was dubbed COELSAT - Center Of Excellence in Life Sciences and Advanced Technology.  The program for the building was for private sector tenant space, but with tenants performing advanced research in collaboration with the University.  As such, the building itself was a highly flexible space with adaptable programming for many different planned tenant fitouts.  The public space within the building was intended to draw the many different private sector tenants out to socialize and ultimately collaborate with one another, if possible.  In addition to the tenant space, a small amount of programming was included for teaching, in the form of a flexible classroom at the head of the building.

Role - My role on this project was as a designer and technical drafter.  I also participated heavily in early cost-estimating and specification writing for the project.
