NASA AMES LIFE BIOSCIENCES LABORATORY- N288
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Ames Research Center (ARC) is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for the construction of a new life biosciences laboratory building, to be located at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA. The new two-story, 38,000 square foot building will consist of laboratory space, office space, conference rooms, and support space. The building is currently being designed to house approximately 20,000 square feet of wet laboratory and laboratory support space and 18,000 square feet of enclosed and open office space, conference rooms, and break rooms. The building will have biosafety level 2 wet labs with laboratory grade utility systems such as ultra-purified water, instrument grade compressed air, and laboratory vacuum. The laboratory support spaces shall include procedure rooms, tissue culture rooms, autoclave/sterilization, controlled environment rooms, and radiation lab. The laboratory will include a large number of chemical fume hoods and consequently will have a sophisticated laboratory exhaust system to ensure safety and energy efficiency. The building shall be constructed as a sustainable entity and is being designed to achieve LEED-NC Silver or Gold Certification. The scope of work shall include site work, installation of underground utilities, grading and paving, and site landscaping.
