spring for a 60,000 square foot office and laboratory building at 630 Komas
in Research Park, Salt Lake City.
Fifty percent of the structure has been pre-leased to
Blackrock Microsystems, which already has a presence in Research Park,
said Woodbury Corp. project manager Luke Woodbury, who designed the
three-story building. It will be constructed primarily of brick and
EIFS (exterior insulation and finishing systems, a type of building exterior
wall cladding system that provides exterior walls with an insulated
finished surface and waterproofing in an integrated composite material system.)
Construction should take eight to 12 months. A contractor has not yet
been selected, but Woodbury said conversations are under way with
several firms.
Woodbury Corp. will lease the now-vacant land on which the structure will
be built — all buildings in Research Park rest upon property owned by
the university — and will thereafter own and operate it. Woodbury Corp.
has developed several other buildings within the park.
Blackrock Microsystems, founded in May 2008, draws on high-tech
innovation that began with Bionic Technologies, a spinoff from the
University of Utah in 1997. Blackrock provides enabling tools for
the neuroscience, neural engineering and neuroprosthetics research
and clinical community worldwide.
