| | Advance -- In Surroundings Built from the Ground up to Meet Your Demands Advance your science or service to the market in surroundings stimulated by the research and results of the University of Maryland, Baltimore’s (UMB) leading biomedical scientists. For companies transforming bioscience discovery into bioscience success, locating in the UMB BioPark accelerates the pace. The UMB BioPark is a new biomedical research park adjacent to UMB, a top-ten public research institution. The University’s goal in creating the park is to: - Commercialize biomedical technologies developed at UMB and in the region
- Expand Maryland's bioscience industry
- Create jobs and generate $500 million in capital investment
Project Description - The UMB BioPark is being built on ten acres of land on the 800 and 900 blocks of West Baltimore Street.
- Once completed, the project will include:
- Ten buildings containing 1.2 million square feet of flexible lab and office space that will accmmodate the requirements of a range of users from emerging post-incubation to mature bioscience companies to university research centers.
- Parking garages landscaped parks
- The project's development is being managed by the UMB Health Sciences Research Park Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation created by UMB for this purpose.
- Current development includes :
- Buiding One, 800 W. Baltimore Street: a six-story, 120,000 square foot multi-tenant lab and office building completed in 2005
- 638-space parking garage at 1 N. Poppleton Street
- Building Two, 801 W. Baltimore Street: a six-story, 240,000 square foot multi-tenant building to be completed in August 2007
- State of Maryland Foresnsic Medical Center, 920 W. Baltimore Street: five-story, 100,000 square foot building set to break ground in 2008
- Building Three - An RFP process for development of a third commercial building was announced in June 2007
- The BioPark's Poppleton neighborhood, an area characterized in past years by disinvestment, has been involved in and supportive of the project. BioPark tenants contribute to a dedicated fund created to support community development and advancement projects.
- Individual buildings will be privately developed every 18 to 24 months according to market demands and will feature the infrastructure necessary for high quality bioscience laboratories.
