CORE Construction
INTEGRATED BIOPROCESSING
RESEARCH LABORATORY AT
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

The Integrated Bioprocessing Research Lab at the University of Illinois
project, is currently being built for the University of Illinois Bioresearch
Lab, and includes the new construction of a 42,000 square foot research
laboratory facility. The facility will house 9,000 square foot, two story
processing space for agricultural research and technologies and support
state-of-the art research laboratories, teaching spaces, and analysis
laboratories for biotechnology, fermenting, corn milling and soy bean
processing with cutting edge equipment for analysis, deconstruction,
fermentation, and thermochemical processes. The research laboratory will
be constructed of a cast-in-place concrete foundation, steel structural frame,
masonry exterior, and single ply roofing. The project will also feature high
bay spaces, analytic laboratory spaces, classrooms, administrative spaces,
and specialized laboratory equipment for co-product evaluation and
optimization of cellulosic material into energy, and biomass pre-treatment
skids. Due to CORE’s implementation of a design by Bailey Edward, the
Integrated Bioprocessing Research Lab at the University of Illinois project
will increase bioenergy value for the application of innovative discoveries
for small production to commercial markets of biofuels.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AT
UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO

The University of Nevada, Reno College of Engineering Building project,
currently in preconstruction for the Nevada State Public Works Division,
involves the new construction of an 86,000-square foot engineering and
laboratory building. The Engineering Building will house 40 research
laboratories, three instructional laboratories, 50 offices, 150 graduate
student workstations, and a state-of-the-art computer laboratory. The
facility’s exterior will be constructed using a combination of brick, metal,
and curtain wall glazing. The project will also feature the demolition of
existing buildings on the active campus in order to make room for the
University of Nevada, Reno College of Engineering Building.
