John Hopkins University Fast Forward
The Problem
Johns Hopkins FastForward business accelerator program sought to understand Baltimore City, regional and statewide lab space market dynamics to guide the design of its planned 1812 Ashland incubator which would spin out companies from Johns Hopkins as well as other regional life science firms.
The Solution
We conducted a complete market analysis that included Best Practices from across the country. We provided recommendations on lab design and equipment selections. Johns Hopkins used the study to gain funding approval for the project which is now under construction. Facility Logix provided project management services for the build-out.
Other Projects
Life Sciences Industry Assessment Study
The Business Development Board of Palm Beach County (BDB) retained Facility Logix to conduct an analysis of the county’s life science industry.
LB-1/PX-1
United Therapeutics Corporation (UT) sought to design and develop the first full service Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) Center in the United States. Time to market was critical for the delivery of the building for initiating US clinical trials.
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
Facility Logix worked with a local real estate provider to detail the property’s attributes and to evaluate the potential market for a buyer of the building for its highest and best use as a fill-finish site.
IBT
Facility Logix worked with IBT and its real estate representation team to evaluate options for its new facility. We oversaw the design, engineering and build-out of the new facility that opened September 2016.
