JBEB 12/14 (803 ASF) will be utilized for advanced imaging research, requiring two lead-shielded test rooms with three-phase power. The preferred lead shielding is 1/16 inch, though 1/8 inch may be necessary depending on space availability. Room A will house a tabletop imaging system for proof-of-concept studies. This system includes a high voltage generator, X-ray tube, turntable, flat panel detector, and base frame. Room B will be dedicated to prototyping new imaging systems, focusing on innovative rotational/stationary gantry designs. Equipment includes a high voltage generator, X-ray tube, novel gantry, photon-counting detector, and an electronic/mechanical workspace. Supporting these test rooms, the adjacent area requires workstations for electronic and mechanical design, a solder station, oscilloscope area, phantom organizer, tool organizer, and appropriate ventilation.

JBEB 53/55/57 (1,960 ASF) will be renovated per Professor Shiva Abbaszedeh’s specifications. The primary goal is to provide high-voltage, three-phase service to JBEB 57 urgently. Passageways between JBEB 55 and 57 should be optimized for efficient research flow. Professor Abbaszedeh’s procured testing equipment will be housed here. Additional renovations include windows between the lab and basement hallway. Appropriate ventilation is required for both projects.

Renovate 356, 358, and 360 (total ASF 2,344) according to the following needs: private cubicles for 30 Graduate Students, common room for 20 users; white board, with break room amenities, including a sink, and some cabinetry to support the sink. Appropriate power for a full-size fridge, and a microwave. Conference Room for 20 users, including a Zoom room capability/DTEN if possible; otherwise use existing monitor; Provide Power & Network for Zoom/communications. Teaching Assistant Office Hour Rooms: 2–3-person room for office hour uses, at most three of these in the space Privacy Pod: a single privacy pod of a single user. Relative Improvements: Lighting, Ceiling, Flooring, Networking. If possible, update the entry to the AM Grad Space, including store front doors, improved trim, A/V poster system. Open the spaces within the rooms according to user feedback.

Provide laboratory renovations in JBEB 230 according to Professor Bose’s specifications; total space is 734 ASF. Laboratory requires buildout to support the following attributes: Semiconductor probe station on a vibration control table for semiconductor sensor and circuit characterization. PCB printing, soldering, and assembly station for test circuit board preparation. Optical test benches for characterizing electro-optical interfaces. Benchtop thermal setup for temperature dependent performance characterizations. Bonding station for die bonding and IC packaging. Provide plans to decant current occupants out of JBEB 240, then following, to decant occupants of JBEB 230 into JBEB 240 for project execution. Provide BME laboratory renovations in JBEB 208B/258 according to Department Chair Dubois’s specifications; total spaces 1,280 ASF. JBEB 208B can support BSL2 laboratory, but JBEB 258 is not; BME intends to create a single large lab. Provide user passageways between 208B and 258. Provide appropriate HVAC, and other wet lab attributes, to allow completed space to perform as BME lab for existing or new faculty. Provide other renovations to rooms according to user preferences including windows between lab and basement hallway. Provide appropriate ventilation for uses as required.

The project aims to transform the southwest open space adjacent to JBEB High into a functional and inviting outdoor meeting, seminar, and instructional area. This development will encompass a comprehensive landscape redesign, focusing on improved circulation, strategic vegetation placement, clear signage, and impactful “placemaking” attributes. Crucially, the space must accommodate 100 to 300 occupants with ample seating, while also integrating seamlessly with and expanding upon the existing flexible outdoor uses of the Engineering Quad, establishing it as a valuable campus-wide resource. A critical pre-design study will involve a thorough site analysis, comparing potential locations on Science & Engineering Hill to determine the optimal placement for this enhanced outdoor learning environment.

This project focuses on the strategic installation of new signage for Baskin Engineering to improve wayfinding and enhance the overall aesthetic. The installation will prioritize accessibility and intuitive navigation, ensuring all visitors can easily locate key buildings, departments, and amenities.

Baskin Engineering requests preliminary plans approval for the Jack Baskin Engineering Building 288 & 298 Laboratory Renovation project. This project would renovate room 0298 and connect it to room 0288.

Both dry labs (E2 216 & E2 386) need updates for modern workplace needs. Improve interior visibility by maximizing hallway-lab fenestration, with at least half-lite windows in each lab door. Verify and adjust lighting to user-desired color, brightness, and ambiance, using E2 216’s recent update as a model. Ensure electrical and data ports meet lab requirements, confirmed by users. Add minimal permanent millwork for research support. Optimize space design for user comfort and occupancy. E2 216 is 914 ASF; E2 386 is 1,469 ASF.

The Live Cell Biotechnology Discovery Lab will be part of a complex dedicated to stem cell-derived neuronal models, located near the northwest corner of Westside Research Park Building C in a 4,923 SF warm shell space. The project will provide the following facilities in compliment to the existing Cooligan Diagnostics Lab and the recently approved WRP ECE Lab project which includes an autoclave, dry lab, BSL-2 lab, and dark room: Live Cell Biotechnology Discovery Lab (1,340 ASF) including a BSL-2 wet lab, BSL-1 dry lab, and a vestibule; Microscopy Room (379 ASF); andFaculty Research Lab (1,235 ASF) including a BSL-2 wet lab, dry lab, dark room, and vestibule. Live Cell Biotechnology Discovery Lab – Full The design is optimized to maximize interactions and collaborations with the Live Cell Biotechnology Discovery Lab and Colligan Diagnostic Lab positioned off the main north corridor. The autoclave room and faculty research spaces are accessed off the west corridor, whereas additional faculty research space is entered from a hallway that will be shared with future labs as funds are provided.

The WRP Microgrid project includes both energy generation and storage technologies for installation to provide resilient power in the event of loss of utility power and to reduce overall energy costs.
