Description The Integrated Bioprocessing Research Laboratory (IBRL) addition is a new “sister” facility to the existing west-adjacent IBRL and adds 32,366 gross square feet for use by the College of Agricultural, Consumer & Environmental Sciences (ACES). This addition, or “IBRL 2.0,” is a Group-B Business occupancy, Type II-B, non-combustible two-story structure. The site, consisting of 1.95 acres of disturbed area, is bound by Pennsylvania Ave. to the south and Goodwin Ave. to the east. Parking lot F4 and a shared route for bicycles and pedestrians are adjacent to the north and are rerouted and modified within the project’s scope. The central feature of IBRL 2.0 is a roughly 7,500 square foot highbay bioprocessing pilot plant. This complements the existing IBRL’s roughly 7,700 square foot processing bay to which it is connected by a service corridor sized for forklift circulation. The addition also abuts the existing IBRL’s Volatile Extraction space, adding two adjacent Volatile Extraction rooms, more than doubling the capacity for these activities. Deliveries and service access for IBRL 2.0 are made on the north side of the building, simplified by a new truck dock with a leveler. This utility area connects to the original IBRL’s service yard. In addition to these key features, IBRL 2.0 contains a traditional laboratory space with benches and fume hoods, office and administrative spaces, and accommodations for meetings, events, presentations and tours. The project is pursuing LEED Silver certification, under the LEED v4, BD+C rating system.
